You can't 'mount' a tape drive under Unix, mount only works for block
devices like disk drives. To use a tape, you have to know the device
name for it. You can read and write to/from the tape with tar, cpio,
dump, or dd (depeding on your system). The device is probably called
something like /dev/rmt0.
