Problems configuring tz877

I am attempting to get a TZ877 up and running with NSR V3.1, but seem to be
missing something. The jukebox is connected to a 2100 running V3.2a. I never
did find one good set of instructions, sort of had to piece it together.

I did the following after installing the drive:

1) Did a MAKEDEV tz4 to see if it showed up, and it did.

# file /dev/rmt0h
/dev/rmt0h: character special (9/4098) SCSI #0 TZ877 tape #32 (SCSI ID #4)
offline
#

2) The most current version of the Media Changer software I have is V2.2, so
   I installed that.

3) Based on info in the mc(7) man page, which doesn't have a listing for
   2100's, and info from uerf after booting genvmunix. I added the following
   line to my kernel config file.

device mc4 at scsi0 drive 32

   uerf said:
      tz4 at scsi0 bus 0 target 4 lun 0 (DEC
       _ TZ877 (C) DEC 9514)


4) I rebuilt the kernel, rebooted and ran MAKEDEV.MC mc4 in the /dev directory.

5) I ran jbm_enabler to see if it would recognize the mc device, but it
   doesn't:

Name you would like to assign to the jukebox device? tz877
Pathname of the control port for the jukebox device? /dev/mc4
jbm_enabler: SYSTEM error, No such device or address
There appears to be something incorrect about your jukebox
installation. Please consult your device's documentation
to help you troubleshoot your installation.


Where did I go wrong?

thanks,
