   I'm interested in installing FreeBSD, but the FAQ says that there is no 
   support for QIC-40/80 tape drives.  Since I own one of these unsupported
   tape drives, making backups is going to be difficult.  Is there a
   patch/hack that adds support for QIC-40/80 and where can I find it?

There is support in the forthcoming 1.1 - just be patient! :-)
