I have a tape drive on my 486 machine and it is connected to the IDE bus. I am running BSD 2.0. I would like to use the tape drive for backup but the system keep giving me the following message : > mt: /dev/nrst0: Device not configured The tape drive I have is a 4 mm tape drive. Can anyone suggest a solution or tell me what is the problem ? Do I need to re-make the kernel so that the OS recognise that there is a tape drive. Please help. Thank you. Neo neo@imedia.com.sg
