You need at least 3 modules loaded. Please try /sbin/lsmod after
issueing ftmt -f /dev/nqft0 status. Among others (maybe) there
have to be the modules ftape-internal, ftape and zftape.
Have a look at the output of ftape in /var/log/messages
If this is not the case, then first load modules manually, check
if your tape works and then improve your conf.modules to make
autoloading work reliable.
