Make sure the stape driver is installed.
If not, you'll need to install it and this will require a system boot

Re: tape device
My mind and fingers were in HP-UX mode.
run hwbrowser
See if the device is present. Device information should be available

Re: tape device
If you 'lsmod', do you see the 'st' module?
In boot-up POST, do you see the tape drive listed?

Re: tape device
What does "ls -l /dev/st0" display?
It should be something like:
crw-rw---- 1 root root 9, 0 2007-03-20 17:40 /dev/st0
The permissions and group may be different, but the numbers like "9, 0" should be there.
The first letter of the line should definitely be "c".
Please run "cat /proc/devices" and confirm that there is a line
9 st
in the "Character devices" group. If the number is different, the first (=major) number of the device should match that.

Re: tape device
If your system disks are not connected on the same type of SCSI controller as the tape drive, you could unload and reload the SCSI controller driver. This should completely reset the SCSI controller.
To do this, you must know the name of your SCSI controller driver module.
The commands are:
rmmod
modprobe
