Is it possible that the error is because of the monitor not seeing the QD32?
At least if I netboot NetBSD it doesn't see the QD32 either, only the RQDX3.

Thanks everyone for your feedback.
Since there may be sensitive data on them I have to either securely wipe them or
destroy them; I did just find a couple of Proliant servers that somehow escaped
my purge though, so wiping them may not be as big a PITA as I feared.

bought an LTO-3
This came up a few months ago here, and I asked for it to be taken to private
