Don't despair. Because it deals with hardware and decidely non-standard
OS interfaces, this is one of the harder areas to get set up.

Are you using the 64 bit kernel? What does "isainfo -v" say?

Which chg-scsi? The one from 2.4.1p1, 2.4.2 or 2.5.0?

Why would you think you would? If you use sst, the device name will be
(e.g.) /dev/rsst0. That's the only way on Sol7 to get raw SCSI that I
know of.

Did you read contrib/sst/README.Amanda?
How did you compile it? How did you try to get it to attach? Where did
you store it (/usr/kernel/drv/sparcv9?)?
What happens if you take the machine down and do a "probe-scsi-all" at
the boot prompt? Does the system see the changer? What does it have
to say about it?
