Use amtapetype. From amtapetype(8):

  NAME
       amtapetype - generate a tapetype definition by testing the device
       directly

  SYNOPSIS
       amtapetype [-h] [-c] [-f] [-p] [-b blocksize] [-t typename] [-l label]
                  [-o configoption...] [config] [device]

  DESCRIPTION
       amtapetype generates a tapetype entry for Amanda by testing the device
       directly.


IMHO this should be mentioned in the FAQ
(<http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/FAQ>).

One more reason for using amtapetype: It gives you some basic testing of
your new hardware and configuration.
