I am trying to put a very small text file onto a SCSI DAT tape
using "dd". When I do a "dd if=FILENAME of=/dev/rst0" the
light on the DAT drive goes on and the machine hangs.
If I am in text mode (as opposed to X) using syscons
I can switch between consoles but there are no cusors in any of them.
Also (not suprisingly) CNTL-ALT-DEL doesnt do anthing.
(i.e. the machine seem pretty well hosed).
Normall dump/tar seem to work without problems.
Any ideas what might be up?
Here is (most of) my dmesg output:
(aic0 is a 1522 is this case.)
