I installed the tape drive and booted the system up. 2. The kernel saw the tape drive and it is usable with tar, however if I try to do a dump (there is no block device for the tape drive). I created a block device for the tape drive, however it can not open the device. 3. If someone can send me a location to check for information on BSD Unix I would greatly appreciate it. Please send replies via email. Jamie_T_Brooks@framatech.com
