SCSI Tape Drive on a HP NetServer E60

[Patrick Cheong Shu Yang <patrick.cheong@hitech.com.my>]

Hi people,

I have just installed Linux onto a HP NetServer E60 which uses the Adaptec 
AIC7XXX. I am attempting to restore users data into /export/home from a 
tape but have been unable to. I have used the mt command to determine 
the status of the drive (/dev/st0, /dev/rst0 and nrst0) but to no avail. 
It keeps telling me the device is not present. When I do a ls -l /dev/*st*
, I can see the devices. Can someone please help me? If more info is need 
mail me so that I can provide more details. Thx.
