In the 386/ix Operating System Release Notes pages 2 and 3 describe the 
procedure for installing a SCSI tape drive such as the Archive 2060,2125,2150
of which I have the 2150. By following the installation instructions you
add three lines to a new file called "tape" in /etc/conf/node.d, use kconfig
under High performance disk driver (item # 7) and follow the Y/N prompts 
including the SCSI tape. Then make a new kernel and reboot.

Hope this helps.
