Port 864 is 0x360 hex (a very unusual base; also try 0x370 if it
doesn't work). Use
insmod ftape ft_fdc_base=0x360 ft_fdc_irq=6 ft_fdc_dma=2
insmod zftape
If the mt command still doesn't work, look in /var/log/messages
_after_ issuing the mt command. There should be some error messages
in that file.
If you get it running, you can add the following line to
/etc/conf.modules:
options ftape ft_fdc_base=0x360 ft_fdc_irq=6 ft_fdc_dma=2
