Hey everyone!  I'm trying to figure out how to use my tape drive and I
can't get this command to work.  In order to rewind my tape, I enter:

   mt -f /dev/nrst0.2 rewind 

and it gives me an error:

   st0: Cannot set selected mode

What does this mean?  Anyone familiar with these commands?  Anyone have an
idea what my problem is?  Help is appreciated.
