I installed a buslogic scsi card and fedora seams to be picking that up.
I cannot find the tape drive any where.
Also I do not have the mt command

How do I install mt and install my tape drive.

Attached scsi drive information can be found by
$cat /proc/scsi/scsi

Check that you have mt
$rpm -qa mt-st # should return something like this
mt-st-0.9b-2.2.1

If you dont have it
root@$> yum install mt-st

the /proc/scsi/scsi only has the following line

Attached devices:

Thats it.
So does that mean my tape drive is not being seen?
If so is there something else that i have to load?

Edit:
I have done some further investigating.
I put the BS-946c in to anoter computer and appon boot it asks me to press ctrl-b to enter the scsi bios (Athlon XP Machine)

On the intel 945 chipset motherboard it does not ask me to press ctrl-b to enter the scsi bios, so im thinking that the scsi bios is not being installed? Any recomendations?
