For a true SCSI tape drive (not an IDE tape drive that is accessed as a SCSI tape drive using the ide-scsi module), you do not need to run makedev nor re-install -> just load the scsi tape module (note the SCSI controller module has to be loaded first). I think that even the module will be automatically inserted when accessing /dev/st0 or when the systems boots and finds the SCSI controller.
