I am new to tape drives on Unix so I am having a few problems getting
my EXAbyte 8200 to work under NetBSD. It is on a 1542CF with 2 SCSI drives.

I understand the first
drive (by LUN number) is located under /dev/*st0*

What commands would I have to use to  tar files to tape,
read them back from tape ? I checked the 386/Free/NetBSD faq with no
real luck.
