boot with -c
config> flags fdc0 1
config> quit
ignore all of the error messages, but verify that the tape drive is
recognized [right after all of the error messages].... I know of a
system where even the above didn't work [server.iadfw.net, so much for
installing FreeBSD from tape there... had to resort to [UGH!] floppy
install]. It works fine here at home though...
then use ft:
tar -cvf - files.to.dump | ft
otherwise wait for QicTape which will allow QIC compat file interchange
between operating systems [coming soon... Shareware, $50.00 USD]. Maybe
in a few months it'll be done. I'm waiting to see what happens to the ft
device driver...
Jim
