I am also quite lost at figuring out how to mount it (do I need to?). I can use the "mt" utility to query it, and make it go "buzz" and rewind and such, but writing to it is far away. Disklabel, then newfs, then mount is the procedure I am currently trying to find info on, but I'm also uncertain this has anything to do with using tapes. I would greatly appreciate an answer (or pointers to such). ------------------------------------------------------ Simon Lindgren | Webarkitekt/Produktsjef lindgren@istudio.no | Internett Studio AS http://www.sn.no/~lindgren | http://www.istudio.no/ ------------------------------------------------------
