    Hi Richard,

    First, sorry to not having replied before, and many thanks for your
    help.

    The SCSI card was indeed not detected by the OS, so I had to introduce
    it the Kernel. I did this by booting from genvmunix.

    So, I first tried to boot from genvmunix, but it crashed because it
    changed the device numbers, so couldn't mount disk partitions :-(

    Then, I booted from genvmunix in SINGLE user mode so I can do
    something. From there I could see that what was before /dev/rz16 was
    now /dev/rz24 and /dev/rz17 was now /dev/rz25. In fact it changed the
    SCSI bus number (hard disks were now detected on BUS 3 and not on BUS 2
    like before).
    Then, I changed the ADVFS domain references to link to the new disk
    devices, created the new tape device, rebuilt the kernel, and rebooted.

    Finally it worked ! (tape detected, backup test ok).
    Have a nice day ! :-)
