I just attached a SCSI tape drive to my DECstation 5000/200 running
NetBSD-1.3.3 GENERIC#0. 'dmesg' says:
[snip]
Beginning old-style SCSI device autoconfiguration
rz0 at asc0 drive 0 slave 0 DEC RZ56 (C) DEC rev 0300
rz0: 634MB, 1632 cyl, 15 head, 53 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 1299174 sectors
tz0 at asc0 drive 5 slave 0 ARCHIVE IBM4326NP/RP !D rev 4BKA
[/snip]
So I should be able to do stuff like:
'mt -f /dev/tz0 rew'
and
'tar cvf /dev/tz0 my_home_dir'
but /dev/tz0 doesn't exist. So as root, I did
# cd /dev
# ./MAKEDEV tz0
# ./MAKEDEV tz1
# ls *tz*
ls: No match.
# ./MAKEDEV all
# ls *tz*
ls: No match.
What am I doing wrong? I looked through the kernel config options and
nothing jumped out at me as the thing to change.
Thanks in advance,
Dan
