Kent, ftape is only for QIC-117 based floppy style drives. SCSI devices
have their own drivers. The tape drive should be automatically
recognized if you have SCSI support with SCSI tape enabled. You access
the drive as the st* or nst* family of devices (i.e.: first tape drive
is /dev/st0 or /dev/nst0, second is /dev/st1 or /dev/nst1, etc.).
