IDE tapes are not currently supported, as mentioned by the driver:

You cannot use this tape with FreeBSD. Use SCSI instead.

You're using a *new* wide drive on a narrow controller. Any reason you're

You didn't mount it then. Do:
cd /
mkdir u02
mount /dev/sdXsYZ /u02
where X is the unit, Y is the slice, and Z is the partition desired.
