Hi,

As a quick intro -- I am positively NOT asking anyone to do my work for
me here, just need a pointer in a relatively relevant direction. :)

I just hooked up a SCSI tape drive to my machine. I got a tape, and
tried to test it. However, between the book, handbook and FAQ I was only
able to get as far as assuming that it's on /dev/rst0. I tried to mount
it on a directory and got this:

/dev/rst0 on /backup: Block device required.

I don't even know what that means... Help! 
I'm sure this stuff is documented and I'm missing it...

Thanks as always,
Roman
