Installing a SCSI Tape-Drive to an Existing Woody System



Team:

I installed an HP DDS-4 SCSI tape-drive to my existing Woody system.  Upon
the reboot, the startup messages showed that it was detected, but I guess
the base install doesn't include support for it because:

boulion:/cdrom# tar cvf /dev/st0 /home
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
home/
home/lost+found/
home/madmac/
home/madmac/.bashrc
home/madmac/.bash_profile
home/madmac/.xsession-errors
tar: /dev/st0: Wrote only 0 of 10240 bytes
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
boulion:/cdrom# 

So I assume I need to install a module for this.  My questions:

1.  How do I find out what modules support what devices?

2.  Where are the instructions for adding/installing a module?

All the stuff I found via google and linuxhelp.org was centered around what
to do when installing linux, or using kudzu with Red Hat . . .

TIA
