I am re-posting this on the 'freebsd-scsi' as I got no answers on
freebsd-stable.  (I also changed the subject line to be more clear).
sa0 doesn't work!

Thought I would try out my new FreeBSD release.  I just installed
FreeBSD on two new Dell servers here.  (The same as all my other
servers).  But the tapes drives won't work! Any ideas on what I did
wrong? I have three other servers running FreeBSD-stable with the same
DELL hardware (2400) and tape drives that work fine (Installed on
FBSD4.2)
.  Here is the error:
janeway# mt status
mt: /dev/nsa0: Device not configured
janeway#

However dmesg says differently:

Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle
sa0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 6 lun 0
sa0: <SONY TSL-11000 L0u6> Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device
sa0: 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 15, 16bit)

output of uname

     sysadm@janeway.icarz.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

I tried rebuilding the kernel and sh MAKEDEV all, and a cvsup to
today.

What else should I do?  Any suggestions appreciated!

Thanks!
