If you are running "devfs" then you don't need to make the node by hand.
When the st.o driver is installed the nodes are created dynamically.
Try running `modprobe st' and then look in /dev to see if the device
nodes have been created. You should see something long the lines of:
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 31 Nov 18 11:26 st0 ->
scsi/host1/bus0/target1/lun0/mt
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 32 Nov 18 11:26 st0a ->
scsi/host1/bus0/target1/lun0/mta
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 32 Nov 18 11:26 st0l ->
scsi/host1/bus0/target1/lun0/mtl
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 32 Nov 18 11:26 st0m ->
scsi/host1/bus0/target1/lun0/mtm
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 4 Nov 15 18:45
in /dev.
I presume you have also installed
the `mt-st-0.7-1mdk' for controlling your tape drive?
