The FreeBSD tape driver uses different device names as shortcuts for the various different action-on-close semantics. The most common are /dev/saN, which will rewind the tape when the device is closed, and /dev/nsaN, which does not rewind the tape when the device is closed. (Think "n for non-rewinding.") If you want multiple files on a single tape, you will usually want to use /dev/nsaN. See man sa(4) for details.
