Does anybody know how to specify the interrupt number/dma channel, etc. 
when a new kernel is built with streaming tape support? I tried simply
un-commenting the lines with "ar" in dfile.wini and master, and was
able to build and boot the resulting kernel, but the tape driver does
not work. When I write to the tape the drive motor constantly starts
and stops, and when I try to read the tape my system hangs. The controller
board is configured to use irq 3, I believe...
