Justin, I tried the latest kernel (from this mornings CTM) on my 2740
and Exabyte 8200 tape drive.  I dumped one of my filesystems to the tape
and everything was going fine till it got all done and rewound the tape.
At that point I go the following sequence of messages on the console,
followed by a system hang (no panic, just hang):

ahc0: Target Busy
ahc0: Target 6, lun0 (st2) timed out
ahc0: Target 6, lun0 (st2) timed out
ahc0: Target 6, lun0 (st2) timed out
ahc0: Target 6, lun0 (st2) timed out

Thought you'd like to know.  Let me know if there is anything I can
do to help track it down.

Note the tape did in fact successfully rewind and the drive allowed me
to remove it (whilst the system was hung).
