So it was normal that I never saw my DAT tape during startup with the as driver. Julian Elischer's SCSI driver probes the SCSI bus and attaches all devices during startup time. Thanks to help from Julian Elischer and Paul Dokas I could track down the problem to the following: Julian 'forced' me to check if really all patches were installed. I found out that I was missing the patch of autoconf.c Paul gave me advice to do a dd if=/dev/sd0b of=file which returned an error 6: thus making me check the disklabel where I found that the b partition was marked unknown. I re-edited disklabel (disklabel -e -r) by hand and changed that to swap. After that the swap problems (as0b device not configured) were gone. He also told me he was using the line root on sd0 swap on sd0 and sd1 and wd0 in his config file which I adapted also. -- --Chris Christoph P. U.
