How do you know it's actually writing? Can you remove the tape and put it in another DDS3 drive and see your files? Are you sure your using a DDS125 tape? Do you regularly use a cleaning cartridge on this drive? I would also suggest you try FreeBSD 4.11 on this system - looks like your serial ports aren't working, either.
