Greetings,
I just finished installing FreeBSD 4.7 on my box.  My machine has an adaptec
SCSI
host adapter and a SCSI Dat tape drive.  I expected to access my tape drive
through
the /dev/rmt device, but instead must use /dev/sa0 (I think this is right.
I'm going
from memory as I'm not at the machine right now).

Is this the normal device to reference when reading/writing to the scsi dat
tape drive ?

thanks,
-D
