By specifying the "ch" (SCSI media changers) in your kernel
configuration -- see /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT for a sample such line.

Yes; once the "ch" device is defined to the kernel, Jason Thorpe's
"chio" driver will be available, as will the program of the same name.
There's a changer script called "chg-chio" that Nick Hibma wrote; I
suspect it will suit your purposes well. (I happen to (still) use one
that I cobbled up around the rime Nick was writing chg-chio. I can send
it to you if you like, but I strongly suggest that you use chg-chio if
at all feasible.)
Cheers,
david
