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...
