I tried it with tar: machine panics, get a nice 17 meg dump. Tried it with dump: machine just reboots, no 17 meg dump though... Each attempt never accesses the tape drive (light never turns on). Just the hd light stays on for a while. Nothing works, then reboots. Since no one metioned anything about my kernel changes, I assume they're correct... So if no one knows what's wrong, I guess I'll have to go back and get another one. Anyone have specific tape drive models (floppy based) that work with FreeBSD 1.1.5.1, and are fairly high capacity, and low priced. Sherman
