from
man mtio

[cut]
     /dev/rmt/<unit number><density>[<BSD behavior>][<no rewind>]

          density                  l, m,  h,  u/c  (low,  medium,
                                   high,        ultra/compressed,
                                   respectively)

          BSD behavior (optional)  b

          no rewind (optional)     n

     For example, /dev/rmt/0hbn specifies unit 0,  high  density,
     BSD behavior and no rewind.
