Hello all!

It's Sunday night and I'm trying to add another tape drive to my Alphaserver
4100, and I am having trouble adding it in UNIX. I currently have a rmt1h
and nrmt1h, but when I try to "MAKEDEV rmt0h" and "MAKEDEV nrmt0h" for the
new tape drive, it tells me:
MAKEDEV: special file(s) for rmt0:
MAKEDEV: unknown device in: rmt0

Can anyone clue me into how I need to go about adding this device?

Thanks!
