Howdy:

I'm trying to install netbsd on my spare IDE 200 meg hard drive.  I got
it installed and bootable from the drive but I cannot get it to read
the rest of the distribution from my tape drive.  The SCSI controller is
an Adaptec SCSI Bus Master 1542C.  The tape drive (SCSI ID 4) is a Conner
Tape Stor 525 meg C2525S.

When I run install_scsi_tape or just plain tar, the tape drive light
blinks then it comes back with errors like "invalid command", "mode
select failed", etc.

Any ideas ??

Thanks
