The problem you're having is related to the /dev device your're using to
access the 8MM tape.  On our 3/470 system under SunOS 4.1, the Exabyte has
to be set at SCSI I.D. #5 and we had to do a MAKEDEV on st3 (?? I forget
which of the st devices it is, sorry... :-( ) and use /dev/rst9 (this I'm
sure of :-) ) to access the tape.

Good Luck,
