This sort of question has been asked often, so check the list archives.  
The general order of things is to

1) Get the changer recognized by the OS (basic SCSI type stuff).

2) Get the changer working with the OS (i.e. control the robot -- mtx is 
   the program you're looking for here).

3) Configure amanda to work with the changer.  I use the chg-zd-mtx 
   script, which is self-documented -- instructions on how to create the 
   config file are in the changer script itself.

4) Come back here with specific problems, if there are any.

Good luck.
