i need to mount a tape drive in order to make backups. trouble is, i 
cant physically get to the linux box in order to see where it is. 
does the text displayed at bootup (kernel messages, that display for 
example all detected hard drives etc) get saved anywhere in redhat? 
suse keeps it in /var/log/boot.msg. i couldnt find anything 
equivalent in redhat (/var/log/boot.log is empty).

any other ideas how to track down this tape drive? ive tried just 
running fdisk on everything that isnt already mounted, both hdX and 
sdX (this has a couple scsi drives), but no help. arent tape drives 
typically treated just like hard drives?
is there a way to dig up what exact tape drive this is, without 
having to go physically look at the box?
