        I am trying to make a tape backup on a tz5. I ran MAKEDEV tz5
and the file /dev/rmt0h was created. Then I tried to dump using

dump -0un -f /dev/rmt0h -b 32 /


        but I get the error message

dump: Dumping from host borg.med.ecu.edu
dump: Date of this level 0 dump: Fri Oct 06 12:35:09 1995 EDT

        I think I must be doing something stupid like missing
out a mounting step. Can some kind person clue me in


Thanks
