Angry Failing to locate tape Drive

I am using redhat Linux 6.0 and I am trying to find my tape drive. Can anybody tell me what the tape is mounted as.

It depends a bit on the type of tape. I have a dat scsi drive. Is is in /dev as st0 which rewinds or nst0 to not rewind. The kernel used must support your scsi card and also tape. I should think the RedHat kernel out of the box does. If not you would need to rebuild the kernel not nearly as hard as it seems.
