Subject: Adding a 8mm tape to a 4/330 server

I am getting ready to add a 8mm to my system and am trying to figure out 
the correct lines for the kernel.   I already have a SUN quic-150 tape
on the  system, and there is a entry in the kernel 

	tape st0 at sm0 drive 32 flags 1

So if I had to guess I'd say that I could add a line like 

	tape st1 at sm0 drive xx flags 1

My question is what is xx supposed to be.  According to the manual on 
reconfiguring the kernel;
 
	csr, drive, flags, priority, and vector arguments are described
	in Advanced Administration Topics, because you need to supply
	values for them only if you are going to configure your own device
	drivers.

YUCK !!!  I don't think I need a device driver just to add a 8mm DO I ?????   

Please respond directly to me.  If this has been covered before, please 
forgive me as I am a new administrator and a new user. 

OH by the way I am running 4.0.3 and my current configuration is 

	Sun Sparcserver 330
	2 - 327 mb disk
	1 - quic-150 tape

I will be adding 

	1GB disk and 8mm tape - The disk I figured out but not the tape.

Thanks for any and all help .
