Hmm ... shouldn't there be an entry for ch0 in the dmesg as
well?
Was the changer connected and powered up when the system was
installed/booted?
Check for /dev/ch0. If it is present then it should be used by
default by chio(1).
If it is not present, cd to /dev and type:
./MAKEDEV ch0
and see whether that makes a difference.

Well ... I can't tell you anything about the HP library, but I
can tell you that OpenBSD 4.0 worked fine (on a Sun Ultra-60) with an
Exabyte EXB-430 -- up to 30 tapes, and up to four Mammoth-2 drives, of
which two were present in my library.
I can't give you the dmesg output from that now, because I am
now using Solaris-10 in that system -- for other reasons. (E.g. I
prefer the extra information that "mt status" gives on Solaris which is
missing on OpenBSD -- in particular the information about how many
"files" and blocks into the current file the tape is at present.
Good Luck,
DoN.
