Hello,

I just got a SCSI tape.  My 4.0-stable system recognizes it:

sa0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 6 lun 0
sa0: <ARCHIVE Python 04106-XXX 7350> Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device 
sa0: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 15)

Whenever I try any mt commands, i.e., mt status, I get:

loghost~;mt status
mt: /dev/nrsa0: Device not configured
loghost~;

I've sh MAKEDEV'd sa0 and nrsa0, to no avail.

Any suggestions?  The -questions archive isn't particularly helpful.
I'm sure I'm missing something truly basic here...

Thanks,
==ml
