Ultrix 3.0 & 3.1 /dev/(n)rmt0h TK50/70s

[Eric Wedaa]

Has anyone else out there in net-land had the following problems with TK50s
and TK70s:

I insert a tape (tk70 for a tk70, etc) into the tape drive, and type the 
following commands:

#mt rewind
device /dev/nrmt0h does not exist
	(Not the exact message, as it has since scrolled to /dev/null)

#mt -f /dev/rmt0h rewind
device /dev/rmt0h does not exist

#mt -f /dev/nrmt0h rewind
device /dev/nrmt0h does not exist

Nothing short of a reboot or waiting a variable number of hours (1-I can't
wait any longer (>48)) seems to cure this.  Has anyone else had this problem 
and come up with a solution?
