Tape drive - no device

[Jeff Wood]

I have just installed a Xenix system on my Vectra RS/25 (awesome machine!!).
I am new to Xenix, so correct me if I am wrong.  

My tape drive came with tape driver software that had to be 
linked into the kernel.  After loading the software, I used 
a utility called "mkdev tape".  This is a standard function 
in Xenix and should make "/dev/rmt0" and "/dev/rmtmini" 
device files.  

If this doesn't work, you should look at the man page 
on "fixperm".  Fixperm with the "-c" option will also make 
these files but the tape driver must reside in the kernel 
for the drive to work.
