[rescue] QIC-11 on a SparcStation ?

Curt,

The SS doesnt mention the tape drive during booting - although
probe-scsis does mention 'Target 4' with no information.

If I run

mt -f /dev/rst0 status

(or any other mt command) I get

/dev/rst0: No such device or address

Now, rst0 is definitely in the /dev directory so I'm sure its finding
the file.

I rebuilt the kernel using the GENERIC mapping. I'm not sure where
to look for the 'st' settings though. A look in st_conf.c shows the
QIC-11 listed - and its not commented out.

I did notice some references to 

#ifdef ADAPTEC

in some of the other .h files, so I'm not sure if this needs enabling
somewhere?

Thanks

Ian.
