Thanks Jeff and Mouse for the help. Somewhere in the distant past I vaguely
recall knowing that the tape drive was on ID 4.
SunOS now recognizes the drive. The problem I now have is that SunOS doesn't
know very much about the drive. I'm building a boot tape for a 3B2/600,
which consists of 37 files that have to be dd'd onto the tape in order. The
first file took about 2 hours with the drive in head-buffing mode.
Is there a configuration file entry for this drive that I could use to get
it acting a little more reasonably? I think I saw a document somewhere that
explains how to rebuild the kernel if you have the right entry.
As you can tell, my SunOS skills are pretty rusty, if they were ever up to
the task :)
Thanks,
Tom
