So, what are you trying to do? You access the drive through the 'st'
devices, not the generic 'sg' devices. For example:
bru -cvvvf /dev/st0 /usr/local
or
tar -cvzf /dev/nst0 /opt
That's all you need to do to perform backups.
If you're trying to run SCSI commands directly to the drive, read the
SCSI-Programming HOWTO (/usr/doc/HOWTO/....).
