>Description:

	Sysinstall has the ability to install FreeBSD from a set of distfiles stored on SCSI tape. Only it doesn't work - sysinstall cannot detect the fact a SCSI tape drive is installed.  This appears to have been broken back in May 2000 with the tape device renaming.  With the attached patch, sysinstall can happily install distributions from my SCSI (HP DDS-2) tape drive.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Select "Install from tape" when selecting media type on a machine with a SCSI tape drive recognised by the sa(4) driver.  Note sysinstall cannot find the tape drive.
>Fix:

	(Patch also at http://www.devrandom.co.uk/freebsd/sysinstrsa.diff )
