I applied Michael's fix (changing scb->timeout to an unsigned int) and
accessing my TZK10 no longer locks my system -- but I can't seem to read
anything from it:

bombadil:~# echo $TAPE
/dev/st0
bombadil:~# mt status
SCSI tape drive, residual=0
ds=13<WriteProtect,Mounted>
er=0
blocksize: 512 (0, 0, 0, 0)
density: 17 (0, 0, 0, 0)
current file number: 0
current block number: 0
bombadil:~# dd if=/dev/st0 of=/dev/null
dd: /dev/st0: Input/output error
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes transferred in 1 secs (0 bytes/sec)

and the kernel says

/netbsd: st0: block wrong size, 4 blocks residual

if I set the hardware blocksize to 1024, repeating the dd gives

/netbsd: st0: block wrong size, 2 blocks residual

The tape was written with dump using 10k blocks, which I assume is
independent of the hardware blocksize...  I need to do backups!  :)
