John,
Sorry for the lack of detail. Here is some clarification.
I currently use amanda-2.4.1p1. I wanted to upgrade to v2.4.2 and in the process
switch to using chg-scsi. So, I compiled 2.4.2 and attempted to figure out how to
control the changer. I didn't get very far.
> Are you using the 64 bit kernel? What does "isainfo -v" say?
Valen% isainfo -v
64-bit sparcv9 applications
32-bit sparc applications
> Which chg-scsi? The one from 2.4.1p1, 2.4.2 or 2.5.0?
2.4.2

I saw it referenced on the list and naively thought that's what I needed. I don't have
/dev/rsst0 either so I have no idea what I'm supposed to use.

yes, just now.

Originally with make from the source directory. I just learned from README.Amanda that
it is in the wrong place anyway.
When I compile using the 64bit instructions, I get:
# cc -D_KERNEL -D_SYSCALL32 -xarch=v9 -c sst.c
cc: Warning: illegal option -xarch=v9

I'll check into this tonight.
