First of all: IT�S RUNNING! :-)))))))) Sorry for shouting.
There were two problems:
1.) My /dev/ftape is linked to /dev/rft0. I will correct it manually.
But it tried to create a tar file to /dev/qft0 what has just brought
the same error message.
2.) Barry was right. I don�t know why there were any mistakes. But
after running MAKEDEV.ftape, a tar to /dev/qft0 works as fine as it
could. Thank you very much, Barry.
And as a result of my installation could be remarked: Ftape
v4.03-pre-2 is for idiots, too.
Bye-bye to all.
Carsten
