Restore OS: can't make tape device

Our system disk is corrupt. This is a brand-new fun and exciting experience :)

I have instructions (from this list: thank you Kelvin.hui_at_usiny.mail.abb.com)
on how to restore from the dump tape, but I can't do the restore, as I'm
booting from the CD and can't see the tape drive ("Can't stat dump file: no
such file or directory").

I tried # MAKEDEV tz0 in order to access the TLZ07 tape drive, but this
returned the error:

MAKEDEV: special file(s) for tz0:
rmt1l
.
.
.
nrmt1a

How do I enable access to the tape drive? Thanks!
