   Just say yes to the standard SCSI tape question, I believe its right
   after the SCSI tape drive question in config.  Make sure your machine
                  ^^^^
        should be disk

   has a /dev/rst0 and when you boot, the SCSI driver will say that it
   found 1 SCSI tape.
   
   I recommend using the mt_st found on sunsite.unc.edu and it mirrors.
   It has commands for SCSI tape that are not supported by the standard
   GNU mt.  I have replaced the GNU mt with the mt in the mt_st package.
   Some people with QIC-150 tapes find that they do not need the
   alternate version of mt.  BTW, the alternate comes from BSD, it was
   not specially written to solve SCSI problems in Linux.
