Has anbody figured out how to use variable block sized tapes
on the 386/ix rel. 2.0 generic tape driver. When I use
my SCSI tape the kernel just responds:

PANIC: Variable blocks size on dump DMA tape ...

and crashes.

I could solve this by setting the tape into fixed block, but I
do not know how to setup a generic SCSI command with the 386/ix
driver.

How does the XENIX 2.3.1 aha1540 driver solve the problem. Can
you setup generic SCSI commands ?
