HELP!  I created a multi-volume tar to my 3.5" drive with the following:

   tar -cMP -T /Xlist -V XFree86 -f /dev/fd1a -L 1400

When trying to restore this archive , volume 1 restores and then prompts to
prepare volume 2.  After inserting volume 2, tar responds with:
tar: this volume is out of sequence

If I restore a specific disk from the set, it will restore only the files
which are not split across two volumes, but the files restored are intact.

My second question is about PCFS.  I have successfully disklabel'ed my drives
and am able to read, write, delete, etc to my DOS drives.  However, in order
to access files below the root directory of a DOS partition, I must first
do an 'ls' on the directory.  Is this normal?
my mount statement is: mount -t pcfs /dev/wd0e /C

My third and final question is about sound support.  I have a ProAudioSpectrum
16 and the AdLib portion of the card is not being recognized under FreeBSD.
The splay and str programs I got from FreeBSD.cdrom.com/packages work nicely,
but none of the FM stuff does.  I get the message "/dev/sequencer: Device not
configured".  I tried doing "cat /dev/sndstat" and got "cat: /dev/sndstat: 
Operation not supported by device".

This is what I see at boot time:
snd3  at 0x388-0x38a  irq 12 drq 3 on isa
snd3: <ProAudioSpectrum 16 rev 0>
MIDI: Successfully attached ProAudioSpectrum MV101
snd2  at 0x220 irq 7 drq 1 on isa
snd2: <SoundBlaster 2.0>
snd1  not probed due to I/O address conflict with snd3 at 0x388

Any Ideas????

Any and all comments are welcome.  Thanks in advance.
