Why do you want it to be mounted on boot ? You will use the tape
for backup or restore purpose only. Whenever required, you can
put in the tape and do an explicit mount.

You do not require it, I guess. Try 'man -k tape' and you will
get the list of tape operations that you can do.

I do not think so. The tape is used for dumping data onto and
restoring data from it. No fs is required.
