Hi everyone;
I've recently found a TK50Z-G3 tape drive and attached it to my
already-working VAX4000/VLC which runs NetBSD 1.5 quite well. Everything
seems to be right until for example I try "mt -f /dev/st0 rewind", here is
a sample output:
st0(asc0:1:0): Check Condicion on CDB: 0x1e 00 00 00 01 00
SENSE KEY: Illegal Request
COMMAND INFO: 117440512 (0x7000000)
ASC/ASCQ: No Additional Sense Information
st0(asc0:1:0): Chech Condition on CDB: 0x1e 00 00 00 00 00
SENSE KEY: Illegal Request
COMMAND INFO: 117440512 (0x7000000)
ASC/ASCQ: No Additional Sense Information
FRU CODE: 0z1
It seems that the tape unit does not like the command. well in fact,
I do not have any idea of what those messages mean.. are they error
messages (which they seem to be) or what?)
more question: how can I initialize a new tape? how can I make a bootable
tape (the FAQ speaks of two files which I cannot find).
