Check to see if you have a /modules/cd9660.so file. If not, cd into
/sys/modules/cd9660 and do "make obj && make depend && make && make
install"

That's probably because there isn't a tape in the drive. The error
string is misleading. According to the errno manpage, it should really
read:
6 ENXIO "No such device or address." Input or output on a special
file referred to a device that did not exist, or made a
request beyond the limits of the device. This error may
also occur when, for example, a tape drive is not online
or no disk pack is loaded on a drive.
