>> tar: can't open /dev/rmt0 : No such device or address
>> 

If you want to untar a file, please use the option f (or -f) before the file name,
e.g
	tar xvf foo.tar

Without this option, tar program will access the tape device driver. /dev/rmt0 is
the device driver for the tape interface.

just my two cents.
