	Hi all,

		I'm trying to set up a HP35480A scsi dat drive, with
	a BusLogic747 scsi controller on a FreeBSD 1.1r operating system. 
	The scsi id on the drive is 1.  I used the "MAKEDEV st0"
	command to make the device.  The dat drive is one of two devices
	daisy-chained on the scsi controller.  The other device is a disk(which
	has an id of 0, and terminates the scsi).

	What follows is what happens when I try to mount it:


	#mount /dev/nrst0 /mnt (a character device)
	/dev/nrst0 on /mnt: Block device required

	And this is what happens when I try to use st on it.


	#st -f /dev/nrst0 status 1
	/dev/nrst0: Device not configured


	I'm not sure what I missing, so any help, or list of steps
	needed, would be appreciated.


				Thanks in advance
