You cannot use this tape with FreeBSD. Use SCSI instead. > The second problem is with the new Quantum Atlas II 4.5 GB SCSI-3 drive > that I'm using with an 80 to 68 pins adapter. You're using a *new* wide drive on a narrow controller.

Then when I do a cd /u02 it says u02 is not a directory, 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.
