In addition I checke my GENERIC file for the kernal build and it is configured for scsi, or else the other scsi devices would show up. > > So why isn't the tape drive being found?

Another questions is, the second HD on ID 6 is not formatted, how do I format, newfs and mount the nfs partition? I don't want to format the ID0 hd as it has my operating system on it, but I am running out of room and really need to get the second hd formatted and nfs mounted, and I don't want to kill my O/S hd. I can do this, but I don't want to make a mistake. Can you give a step procedure so I don't screw up my boot system?
