As Brian passed along (from Darin), you need to set up the "sgen" driver
then use something like chg-scsi or mtx/chg-zd-mtx.

I wanted to point out, however, that you should *not* use the 'b' device
names for your tape drives.  That gives you "BSD" semantics, which I've
blathered about on this list before.  Basically, this makes the tapes
act different when commands do not end up at nice file mark boundaries.
Amanda tries to deal with this, but it's much safer to use System-V
semantics (anything, on Solaris, without a 'b' in the name).

You should use one of the non-b names such as 0cn or 0mn (or 0n if the
default density/compression values are what you want).  See "man st"
for all the gory details.
