I would appreciate if anyone can help me with the following problem:

I just purchased a Sony SuperStation ATAPI tape drive after having noted
that FreeBSD 3.0 offers Beta support for such devices.

After installing FreeBSD 3.1 Release (a clean, scratch install, which
was quite straightforward, BTW) I built a custom kernel that included
the following:

options         ATAPI           #Enable ATAPI support for IDE bus
options         ATAPI_STATIC    #Don't do it as an LKM
device          acd0            #IDE CD-ROM
device          wst0            #IDE Streaming Tape
 
At boot time, I noted the following probes:

wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa
wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <FUJITSU MPC3064AT>
wd0: 6187MB (12672450 sectors), 13410 cyls, 15 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
wdc0: unit 1 (atapi): <CR-2801TE/1.05>, removable, intr, dma, iordis
acd0: drive speed 1377KB/sec, 512KB cache
acd0: supported read types: CD-R, CD-DA
acd0: supported write types: CD-R, test write
acd0: Audio: play, 2 volume levels
acd0: Mechanism: ejectable tray
acd0: Medium: CD-ROM 120mm data disc loaded, unlocked
wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa
wdc1: unit 0 (atapi): <SuperStation-Int/1.06>, removable, accel, iordy
ppc0 at 0x378 irq 7 on isa

The device is being seen as an atapi device, but not as a wst tape
drive... what am I doing wrong?

The rest of my configuration is as follows:

Pentium II 350 Mhz
Asus P2B Motherboard
256Mb P100 RAM
Adaptec 2940 Ultra/Ultra Wide SCSI Controller
4 x 6.4 Gb Quantum Firball SCSI Disks
3Com EtherLink XL PCI NIC (xl0)
SB AWE32 ISA soundcard
Trident 975 video card

(all of which seems to work.)

Thanks in advance for any help that might be provided.

Cheers,
dj
