The problem was that my device driver for SysV.4 wasn't loaded :-)
The solution was to:
Power on the device in question and then perform:
boot -r
I assume that the drivers had been loaded if the tapedevice had been powered on when I
installed the kernel. The tapedevice was actually powered off when I installed the
kernel.
Again, thanks to all who responded.
