Make sure the Xserver is setuid root.
(e. g. chmod u+s /usr/X11R6/bin/Xamiga)
Normally the Xserver must run as the superuser, normal users are not
allowed direct access to the device drivers.

Use /dev/nrst0 for "non-rewinding" or /dev/rst0 for "rewinding".
You can set the TAPE environment variable in your shell rc file.

There is a maximum number of partitions on a drive for NetBSD, I'm not sure
what it is. Does
"disklabel sd1"
show the sd1i partition with fs type ext2?
