How do you know it's actually writing? Can you remove the tape and
put it in another DDS3 drive and see your files?
Are you sure your using a DDS125 tape?
Do you regularly use a cleaning cartridge on this drive?
I would also suggest you try FreeBSD 4.11 on this system - looks
like your serial ports aren't working, either.
