I'm running FreeBSD on a Pentium 90 and I haven't been able to get the tape
backeup to work! It's a Conner TSM850R internal unit with a floppy tape
interface. The floppy tape code is compiled into the kernel. Whenever we try
it, the tape just keeps going and going and going! There is no way to stop it
aside from yanking the tape out of the drive. Even sending "kill 9" to the
process won't abort it.
