Bruce,
While the initial discovery is on hdd, you should see the kernel remap
it to ht0 a few lines further down (hdd <-> ht0).
Perform a modprobe on ide-scsi and you will now be able to access the
tape drive via /dev/ht0 or /dev/nht0. Once the module is loaded, a cat
or /proc/scsi/scsi will show you that the drive is identified. In fact,
is "Probe all LUNs' is enable in the SCSI subsystem, you will actually
see the drive 8 times. Kindly ignore the other 7 - you only have one
drive.
