Any idea at all how the tape was made?
Not right now.
What does mt give for a status of the drive and it's tape? #mt -f /dev/rmt0 status
# mt status SCSI tape drive, residual=0 ds=13<WriteProtect,Mounted> er=0 blocksize: 0 (0, 0, 0, 0) density: 19 (0, 0, 0, 0)
Seems to be ignoring the format entirely?
Can you tar off the first tape header? mt -f /dev/rmt0 rewind
Works.
tar -tvf /dev/rmt0.1
DNW: tar: Failed open to read on /dev/rmt0.1: No such file or directory
Also tried st0
# tar -tvf /dev/st0
tar: End of archive volume 1 reached

tar: Sorry, unable to determine archive format.
IF you had the disk space you could dd the entire tape image to disk.
Seems like the format is incomprehensible to bsd, .. I was going to try the new Knoppix but it appears that 'Safe Mode' is now in effect.
Thanks!
