To the people of goodwill,

Here are my woes...
poeza: /usr/home/wash (166) % uname -a
FreeBSD poeza.iconnect.co.ke 3.5-STABLE FreeBSD 3.5-STABLE #5: Sat Sep 23
14:23:29 EAT 2000   wash@poeza.iconnect.co.ke:/usr/src/sys/compile/POEZA  i386

poeza: /usr/home/wash (169) % su
Password:
poeza#
poeza# mt rewind
mt: /dev/nrsa0: Device not configured
poeza#
poeza# mt status
mt: /dev/nrsa0: Device not configured

I was going to do my backup for the 1st time after upgrading from 3.4-R to
3.5-STABLE.

You can see how desparate I am, because no backup no survival.
Urgent pointers highly appreciated.

Wash
