If you look in your manual section for special files (s7) at fl7 you
will see that 0s25 is your floppy drive with a 1 cylinder offset 
that is used for boot and installit floppies. According to my
system your swap device should be 0,1 with  brw-rw-rw- permissions.

About the tape drive, There are several of us in the Atlanta area
that are running 2.4 and using the Archive tape drives and controllers.
You have to be carefull in the linkkit as there is a mistake in the
master file that has the ar driver calling the ev module. The line with
ar should have ar under the prefix column.
