The devices are already there, you just need to know which ones they are.
Changers are access as sg devices -- yours will be /dev/sg0 (it's the
first SCSI device). Your tape drive is /dev/nst0.
Not having used chg-scsi, I'd recommend that you may want to check out
chg-zd-mtx. You'll need mtx, available from <http://mtx.badtux.net/>.
I found it very easy to set up following the instructions in the
chg-zd-mtx script itself.
Good luck.
