Hi, all..
  
 I have Colorado 250 Tape drive. This afternoon, I did dump
 the /usr partition to 2 QIC80 tapes. Now I try 'restore i'
 or 'restore x', I got the error message
 
    /dev/rmt8: No such file or directory
 
 So, I tried to MAKEDEV rmt8, but I got
 
    rmt8 - no such device name
 
 Well, if you have experiences in dumping filesystems and restore,
 then would you tell me what is the best way to restore?
 
 Thanks in advance.
 
 Regards,
 --Uh
