SCSI-Tape (st0) in rescue mode

[Lukwata Dominic <lukwata roxi rz fh-mannheim de>]

Hi all

I have been sendig this question a number of times. Now may be
the fith. But no one has answerded to it. Could please aynone
please help. Following is still my problem:

I have booted in the RH 6.1 in the rescue mode with:

1. boot disk made my mkbootdisk
2. rescue disk with the rescue.img 
   (for RH 6.1 form ftp://poeple.redhat.com/bero/rescue-6.1/rescue.img
    Hier special thanks to Messer for the hint)

Now I like to read my data stored on the scsi-tape. But I cannot
access it. In the directory /dev there is no st-devices. i.e.
no device /dev/st0

I have tried to include the st.o module using mkinitrd
i.e.

mkinird -f --with=st initrd-2.2.12-20.img 2.2.12-20

and then booted with the boot-disk and then rescue image disk.
But the st devices were still not available in /dev directory.

My /etc/conf.modules has the scsi module and looks like this

alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias eth0 smc-ultra
alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx

I think it should work. But it does not!

Can any one tell me how to make the bootdisk such that the
rescue mode includes the st device (i.e. the device 
/dev/st0, ...)

Another question is that I made my tapes with the "dump" command.
Consequently I need the "restore" commend to read them. But this
"restore" command is not available having booted the rescue mode.
(Contary to the Official RH 6.1 Linux Reference Guide, Chapter
2.15.2, page 64). How do I get the "restore" command in the
rescue mode?

Thanks for help
