Rick, dont understand, why would it change his device names?

He has only one cdrom, it should stay at scd0
and a new specific device name for the tape drive should be
created if need be.
/dev/rmt.... or whatever they are using for DLT's. I dont
have any here.
These are all different devices on different scsi
controllers in the box.

I sent him instructions on how to produce a clean "from a
fresh boot" messages
file that he can post to the list
the answer is in there somewhere. It's something not
obvious.
