There is no "correct" value for all hardware.  I needed TWO EOF = yes etc for
DDS drive on FreeBSD 4, but for an HP LTO-1 drive on FreeBSD 8 I needed this:

  Hardware End of Medium = no
  BSF at EOM = no
  Backward Space Record = yes
  Backward Space File = yes
  Fast Forward Space File = yes
  TWO EOF = no
