Nathan,
Download, build, and install the latest unstable version of ftape
(actually, they're very stable). Be sure to say NO to the ftape that's
in the kernel and rebuild your kernel before trying to use the new
drivers.
There's documentation in the ftape package.
You can get the files from Claus' site:

Or from the esting ftp server:
