I had the same problem with two different vendors...and it turned
out that when I used the floppy drive version from one vendor...it
worked just fine. Turns out that there needs to be some kernel support
for the tape drive you have...best tha I can figure anyway.

I'd suggest trying to get a copy of the floppy disk version of the
OS. I spent over a month and a half with this problem.
