well...Now I've tried. After much tinkering to configure the card to
use the I/O, IRQ, and DMA expected by the generic kernel the response
was:
/kernel.GENERIC: wt0 not found at 0x300
Then I took a look at the configuration for GENERIC and realized it
wanted the tape drive on the same interrupt as my network card. So I
compiled a new kernel with the tape on a different interrupt. (I hate
8-bit cards!) Same message
Hhhmmm...
