Thanks for help. I just upgraded my FreeBSD to 2.2.2 I have a cdrom subscription. My system has a scsi EXB-8200 Exabyte tape backup unit. Before my upgrade it worked fine with the kernel I had. With the 2.2.2 GENERIC kernel, I get a this error when I do a mt rewind or any other commands that need the tape unit: mt: /dev/nrst0: Device not configured I don't have the source to my old kernel which configured it. I did try my try my old kernel binary which I copied to a floppy and copied to my new FreeBSD 2.2.2. I got the same error message. How can this be? My hardware is exactly the same. I did try the MAKEDEV command. -Jim will@marauder.wnyric.org
