I had seen a thread acouple of days ago concerning TR4 (HP/COLORADO 
Travan 4000) tape drives.  I have one of these installed in my BSD box, 
but have been unable to tar to it.  How does one know if it is properly 
configured into the kernel, and is there more to the setup after that?

dmesg shows the following, but I am not sure what to do to initate a backup?

ahc0:A:1: refuses syncronous negotiation. Using asyncronous transfers
(ahc0:1:0): "HP T4000s 1.07" type 1 removable SCSI 2
st0(ahc0:1:0): Sequential-Access density code 0x0,  drive empty  

BTW, the drive is not empty, it has a tape in it ready to go, if I only 
knew how to access it :-)
