On the contrary, I think that means your devfsadm command *did*
work. You're now getting a tape-specific error message, instead
of a generic one; that means the system now understands that
/dev/rmt/0n is in fact a tape drive.
So, taking the message at face value ... Was there a tape loaded?
Was the drive online?

The animal that coils in a circle is the serpent; that's why so
many cults and myths of the serpent exist, because it's hard to
represent the return of the sun by the coiling of a hippopotamus.
