I'm trying to get an Archive Python 4mm autoloader tape drive working
with FreeBSD 2.2-current and the AMANDA backup program.  I can't seem to
get the autoloader mechanism to work.

What do I need to do to access the autoloader mechanism, either in
general, or with AMANDA specifically?

The drive as reported by dmesg is:

(ncr0:4:0): "ARCHIVE Python 28849-XXX 4.CM" type 1 removable SCSI 2
st0(ncr0:4:0): Sequential-Access 
st0(ncr0:4:0): 200ns (5 Mb/sec) offset 8.
density code 0x13,  drive empty


Thanks!
