Hello!

With NetBSD Amiga current 07.03.1996 I am no longer able to use my
tape drive (st0 at scsibus0 targ 5 lun 0: <HP, HP35470A, 1109>
SCSI2 1/sequential removable)! When I try to get at the end of a tar
archive:

mt -f /dev/nst0 fsf 16

I get the followin messages on the console:

st0(ahsc0:5:0): no data found, requested size: 14 (decimal), data = 00 00 00 00 00 05 00 00 00 00 00
st0(ahsc0:5:0): no data found, requested size: 14 (decimal), data = 00 00 00 00 00 05 00 00 00 00 00
st0(ahsc0:5:0): no data found, requested size: 2048 (decimal), data = 00 00 00 00 00 05 00 00 00 00 00


I also can no longer show already stored archives with `tar tvf /dev/nst0`.

Anyone fights with htis problem too and knows how to solve it?
I noticed changes in the scsi code at 05.03.1996 and in mt at 06.03.1996 -
so maybe something went wrong there? My last successful backup was before
those changes.

Thanx for any help in advance!
