Try an
mt -f /dev/nrsa0 status
and
mt -f /dev/nrsa1 status
The ctl node specifically makes no access to the device.
If there is indeed a tape inserted, build a CAMDEBUG kernel,
boot it, and do
camcontrol debug -Ic b:t:l
(b = bus, t = target, l = lun)
and then do the 'mt status' dance as above and send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (the
appropriate list- not hackers). I'm the tape driver maintainer, but I'll be
out of town this next week.
