[comp.sys.sgi] Mounting Tape Drives as filesystems

markb@denali (11/30/88)

Tried mounting a tape drive per the man page.  In direct contradiction
to my last posting, the tape drive is a character device and this won't
work.  One must have a block device to mount a fs.  Sorry for the mis-
information.
