This is saying that the device entry for /dev/tape points to a non-scsi
tape device.  You should ensure that both the ct and wt devices are not
configured in (/etc/conf/sdevice.d/ct and wt) the kernel AND read the
hardware devices section in the system administrators guide that explains
what you have to do to set up the /dev/tape devices when using a SCSI
tape drive.
