Last time I fiddled around with the LSI MegaRAID stack it did not provide any sort of transparent access to attached devices. Can you create a LUN with the tape device? You might have more success with the LSI MPT stack. That at least provides transparent access to the target devices. I don't know whether mpt hooks into NetBSD's scsipi layer in a way that it will attach non-disk devices, but I suspect it would. Eduardo
