(actually rmt0 is symlink to /dev/rst0)
You need the "mt-st" package.
I setup with the following command:
"mt -f /dev/rmt0 stoptions 3 drvbuffer 1 stwrthreshold 10"
Check "mt" man page for further function codes.
DON'T forget "export TAPE=/dev/rmt0"
Check with "mt st" command.
I get: ( with 250 meg tape in drive)
SCSI 1 tape drive, residual=0
File number=0, block number=0.
Tape block size 512 bytes. Density code 0x10 (QIC-150/250 (GCR 10000
bpi)).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (41010000):

Check SCSI-howto for mknod if you need a dev file
