Trying to restore(8) from a TDC4222 QIC tape drive on NetBSD/mac68k GENERIC
1.4 gives me

$@st0: 10240-byte tape record too big for 8192-byte user buffer
st0(ncrscsi0:5:0):  Check Condition on CDB: 0x08 00 00 20 00 00
    SENSE KEY:  No Additional Sense
                Incorrect Length Indicator Set
   INFO FIELD:  -2048
     ASC/ASCQ:  No Additional Sense Information


-- specifying the blocksize gives

# restore -i -b10k -v -f /dev/nrst0
restore: illegal blocksize -- 10k
#

What is broken here -- my understanding of the matter or 1.4's tape handling?
