Hello,

I am trying to do a "simple backup" using a Seagate DDS-3 DAT drive.
However, I cannot dump anything to any device that one would think would
be a tape (ftape, tape-d, st0, etc. errMsg: "Cannot open: no such
device"). What's missing? I'm looking through the SAG, and it says
nothing about formatting the tape, let alone how to determine which
device is actually the tape drive. And this was supposed to be the
*simple* part of getting CVS up and running...
