	I can't get my tape device to work.. Asked a few people, got the device
made, but when I try to use it, it says:

# tar -tvf /dev/rst0
tar: can't open /dev/rst0 : Operation not supported by device
# tar -tvf /dev/st0
tar: can't open /dev/st0 : Operation not supported by device

	I've tried basically all the devices, no luck.. I don't know
what's wrong, exactly. But I thought this might have something to do with
it:

note the:

	Is the tg* device the tape drive? How do I get tg and fd devices
configured? I am running NetBSD-1.0/SPARC on a Sun IPX with Weitek.

	Any help would be much appreciated...


Thank you.
