Hello brv,
I have a little dilemma with your problem discription.
You perform a stop-a, and then on the OBP you execude the probe-scsi-all command ? I canīt understand the different between the two situations.

However, if you look inside the /dev/rmt/ directory you can see the tape ?
If not ? First of all try this :
drvconfig
tapes

Errors appear ?
If the tape is now on this system dir, try to write something on an empty tape.
regards joerg

esiop

ESIOP(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						  ESIOP(4)

NAME

     esiop -- Enhanced Symbios Logic/NCR 53c8xx SCSI driver

SYNOPSIS

     esiop* at pci? dev ? function ?
     options SIOP_SYMLED
     scsibus* at esiop?

DESCRIPTION

     The esiop driver provides improved support over siop(4) for the Symbios Logic/NCR 53x8xx series of SCSI controller chips:

	   -   53c825 and 53c825a (Fast-Wide SCSI)
	   -   53c875 and 53c875j (Ultra-Wide SCSI)
	   -   53c876 (Dual Ultra-Wide SCSI)
	   -   53c885 (Ultra-Wide SCSI and Ethernet)
	   -   53c895 (Ultra2-Wide SCSI)
	   -   53c896 (PCI 64bit, dual Ultra2-Wide SCSI)
	   -   53c1010-33 (PCI 64bit, dual Ultra160 SCSI)
	   -   53c1510d (PCI 64bit, dual Ultra2-wide SCSI)
     Older adapters are supported by the siop(4) driver.

     The SIOP_SYMLED option causes the driver to report SCSI activity on the GPIO pin 1, which is connected to the activity LED on some adapters.
     At this time only the 53c895 based Symbios and Tekram adapters are known to require this.

     cd(4), ch(4), intro(4), pci(4), scsi(4), sd(4), siop(4), st(4), uk(4)

HISTORY

     The esiop driver first appeared in NetBSD 1.6.

AUTHORS

     The esiop driver was written by Manuel Bouyer <Manuel.Bouyer@lip6.fr> for NetBSD.
