Basically means that this portion of code does no longer do the right
thing (as it used to be under 1.1.5).  It's part of the fdstrategy()
routine:

#if NFT > 0
        if (FDTYPE(minor(bp->b_dev)) & F_TAPE_TYPE) {
                /* ft tapes do not (yet) support strategy i/o */
                bp->b_error = ENXIO;
                bp->b_flags |= B_ERROR;
                goto bad;
        }

Slice code?  FDTYPE?

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
