In my experience SCSI tape drives require no special configuration of FreeBSD. You just need to make sure that the driver for your SCSI card is loaded (included in the kernel). If the adapter is found by FreeBSD but the tape drive is not, then maybe you have problems with the SCSI bus (conflicting IDs, missing termination, bad cable etc). -- Toomas Aas | toomas.aas@raad.tartu.ee | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * If you think education's expensive, try ignorance.
