Adding Tape Drive

I have a couple of AlphaServer 300's that are currently running 4.0E
that I want to attach an external 8mm tape drive so that I can backup
the systems prior to upgrading them to 4.0F. I want to know is this; is
there another process to have the system recognize the tape drive
without having to boot the system off the genvmunix kernel, do a rebuild
and then reboot off the new kernel? Or am I stuck with this scenario.
Also if there is another way to do this under a normal boot does this
work with other devices/adapters?
