It won't be the script that sets up specific devices. The OS picks

you are not familiar with that naming scheme c1t2d3 would be
"c"ontroller number 1 (you may have multiple scsi, or ide+scsi or?)
"t"arget number 2 (aka scsi id or disk number for ide)
"d"evice number 3 (aka scsi lun)
So you need to setup your st.conf and sgen.conf (tape drive and changer
respectively) and do a config reboot (or devfsadm while testing, but
I recommend a reboot at the end to be certain). Then find which device
names were assigned to your devices.
Yes I've done a re-config boot, but just to be sure I'll do another one
and report back on any differences in software behaviour.
For this exploration don't use amanda. Use mtx for changer explore and
testing and mt/tar/dd for drive explore and testing.
Yep I was using mtx to try and manipulate the changer, then I decided to
try out amtape and see if it made a difference.
