Please be advised that QIC-02 is _not_ the only standard for electrical interface to a tape drive -- QIC-117 (floppy) interface is far more popular and recognized as QIC (but I'm still not sure whether the installer supports it or not...) Other than that, I find the FreeBSD documentation to be quite well written and enjoyable to read.
