Can't get running an AIT-50 tape drive in an CL-380 server

Hy,

I'm running FreeBSD 4.11 on a Compaq CL-380 Server. It has an internal Smart 
Array Controller from which I successfully boot the system, and an AIT-50 
tape drive which I intended to use for backups. Also the externel 
RAID-Controller works fine.

Unfortunately I'm unable to get this tape drive working. I think the kernel 
not even does detect it.

I put in an empty tape and try to get information:
naxos# mt status
mt: /dev/nsa0: Device not configured

I tried to find some hints on the web but it was not successful.
Does anybody have a suggestion what I could do?


thanx,
bh


Here's also the dmesg output and my kernel configuration:
