Please, no comments about use better hardware, unless there is no other
way....

Does anyone have the blocking/density and size parameters for dump(1)
for use with DDS DAT drives ?

Currently, I keep seeing these errors:

Mar 14 00:38:56 freebsd /kernel.scsi: data length underflow
Mar 14 00:38:56 freebsd /kernel.scsi: nca0/4/0 data length underflow
Mar 14 00:38:56 freebsd last message repeated 130 times
Mar 14 00:40:42 freebsd /kernel.scsi: nca0/4/0 (st0) timed out

# mt -f /dev/nrst0 status
Present Mode:   Density = X3B5/88-185A Blocksize variable
---------available modes---------
Mode 0:         Density = 0x00         Blocksize variable
Mode 1:         Density = 0x00         Blocksize variable
Mode 2:         Density = 0x00         Blocksize variable
Mode 3:         Density = 0x00         Blocksize variable

Also, when I tried a kernel config with the following, st0 didn't work:

controller scbus0 at nca0
disk sd? at scbus? target ?
disk sd? at scbus? target ?
tape st? at scbus? target ?
device cd? at scbus? target ?

kernel would find and allocate it, when booting as st0, but obviosuly
the device in /dev was wrong or something.

Also, on the wish list, what about lsdev returning irq's, etc ?
