        Type dmesg and see if a message like, "Detected scsi tape st0 at scsi0,
channel 0, id 2, lun 0" is present. If it is, try typing:

find /etc |cpio -ov >/dev/st0

        If you do not the aforementioned message or something similiar, you
probably do not have SCSI tape support. As root type:

insmod st

then try the find /etc |cpio -ov >/dev/st0 once again.
