I assume that you meant /dev/rst0 since I was talking about the streaming tape. I get a "Device not configured" message, just like when I try to tar or dd to it if the tape drive wasn't on when I booted. That's the problem that I'm trying to solve. After thinking about /dev/sd0, I decided that it _shouldn't_ do any harm to try the above command on that device. Bad decision. It crashed the machine. :-( Have you any other suggestions for me?
