	I am having problems trying to get /etc/dump to work on
an 8mm.  The problem I am facing is getting the right combination
of blocking size and density to work correctly in order to
restore what I have dumped.

	I am using the tmscp drivers on "/dev/rmt1h". Can anyone
lend a hand and get me off the ground.  If I use the default
values it writes the exabyte as a 6250 tape and I loose the purpose
of the 8mm.

	On our Sun4.os I can use the following but doesn't
seems to work on Ultrix 3.1

dump 0ubsdf 50 6000 54000 /dev/rst1 /

	Thanks again
