I am trying to backup my system on /dev/rst0 (SCSI tape drive).

If I try to access the drive I get a 'device not configured' error.
----- # tar -cf /dev/rst0 /
----- tar: can't open /dev/rst0 : Device not configured

But the device was configure on the Kernel:
---- controller      scbus0  #base SCSI code
---- device          ch0     #SCSI media changers
---- device          sd0     #SCSI disks
---- device          st0     #SCSI tapes

And created on /dev:
# ls -l rst0*
crw-r-----  2 root  operator   14,   0 Nov  2 21:08 rst0
crw-r-----  2 root  operator   14,   0 Nov  2 21:08 rst0.0
crw-r-----  1 root  operator   14,   4 Nov  2 21:08 rst0.1
crw-r-----  1 root  operator   14,   8 Nov  2 21:08 rst0.2
crw-r-----  1 root  operator   14,  12 Nov  2 21:08 rst0.3

And I am running the correct Kernel.

I also check know for a fact that there is a tape on the drive.
Sugestions ?
