Its a conner tapestore tsm 4000R. Its connected to an adaptec 2940.
The tape type is 'QIC-3080-MC compatible'.

The command I used was:

freebsd# dump 0ufs /dev/nrst0 90000 /

the restore command I attempted was:

freebsd# restore rf /dev/nrst0

I've used this same setup when the machine was operational (ok restore if,
not restore rf) and it worked fine.
