    A few months ago I brought up a new server using an Adaptec 2200S RAID
    card, and it's been running fine with a RAID 1 array on channel 0. Today
    I tried to move the DLT (Quantum 4000) over to this server to make it the
    amanda server, so I plugged it into the controller's external port for
    channel 1. When I do, neither amanda or mt will see the device, I get:

    mt: /dev/nsa0: Device not configured

    I tried rebooting (production box, but it had to be tried) and the Adaptec
    BIOS correctly recognized the device, but I still got that error. I tried
    moving the SCSI cable to the channel 0 port, but that caused serious
    panics and an ugly fscking power-cycle. Since the disk array is on that
    channel, I won't try that again. Back to channel 1. Power cycling the
    tape drive repeatedly throughout this had no effect. I even did a "sh
    MAKEDEV sa1", thinking that maybe the "0" in "sa0" might have had
    something to do with the channel ID. No dice.

    I'm all out of ideas, and would appreciate if anyone could spare a clue.
