Normally, under FreeBSD, you will have a ch device for your autoloader, which you should use instead. E.g., tape# camcontrol devlist <QUANTUM ULTRIUM 4 2210> at scbus0 target 8 lun 0 (sa0,pass0) <QUANTUM UHDL 0075> at scbus0 target 8 lun 1 (ch0,pass1) [[...]] The chio command uses /dev/ch0 by default.
