For the tape drive:
Login as root, and at the #sign, type 'mkdev tape'
This will start a menu driven program that will ask you for the host adapter you are attaching the device to, and its scsi id.
At the end, it will re-link the kernel to include the new device.
You will need to re-boot the system to start the new kernel.
Do not re-link the kernel twice in a row without testing that the new kernel actually works as only two versions are kept.
For the terminal server:
If you have the gui configured, start scoadmin, and select the software manager.
If you use the command line version, type scoadmin at the prompt.
Both versions are use the same tcl code.
In the character version, you will see that there are 3 rectangles on the screen, a 1 line rectangle at the top, a 15 line rectangle in the middle and another 1 line rectangle at the bottom of the screen.
Use the <tab> key to move from one rectangle to another. Use the <arrow> keys to move within each rectangle. Use the <spacebar> to mark a checkbox, and <enter> to select an item.

NAME
mkfs.bfs - make an SCO bfs filesystem
SYNOPSIS
mkfs.bfs [options] device [block-count]
DESCRIPTION
mkfs.bfs creates an SCO bfs filesystem on a block device (usually a disk partition or a file accessed via the loop device).
The block-count parameter is the desired size of the filesystem, in blocks. If nothing is specified, the entire partition will be used.
OPTIONS
-N, --inodes number
Specify the desired number of inodes (at most 512). If nothing is specified, some default number in the range 48-512 is picked
depending on the size of the partition.
-V, --vname label
Specify the volume label. I have no idea if/where this is used.
-F, --fname name
Specify the filesystem name. I have no idea if/where this is used.
-v, --verbose
Explain what is being done.
-c This option is silently ignored.
-l This option is silently ignored.
-h, --help
Display help text and exit.
-V, --version
Display version information and exit. Option -V only works as --version when it is the only option.
EXIT CODES
The exit code returned by mkfs.bfs is 0 when all went well, and 1 when something went wrong.
SEE ALSO
