You'll need to build support for it into the kernel, and possibly run MAKEDEV again (just in case). But, are you really trying to access the tape drive (which is what the rsa0 device is) or are you trying to extract a file on a filesystem called ip-fil3.3.12.tar? If the latter, you want `tar -xf ip-fil3.3.12.tar'. -- Ben Smithurst / ben@scientia.demon.co.uk / PGP: 0x99392F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
