Hello~
I have an OnStream SC-30 ADR tape drive I am trying to get to work under
Free BSD 4.3 Stable.  If I look at the output of dmesg I see:

sa0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 6 lun 0
sa0: <OnStream SC-30 1.02> Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device
sa0: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 7)

I did a "sh ./MAKEDEV sa0" and the device now shows up but...
any time I try to access the device via mt or dump I get an error.  An
example would be:

# mt -f /dev/sa0 rewind
# mt: /dev/sa0: Invalid Argument

or in the case of the "dump" command it runs through the normal setup
and then gives me a:

DUMP: Cannot open output "/dev/sa0"

Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help!
