[OmniOS-discuss] SAS tape driver

[Garrett D'Amore]

Need to see the IBM changes to /etc/driver_aliases.  My guess is that this is the source of the problem.  If you know the name of the kernel driver for the IBM tape module, you could rem_drv it.  A reboot may be required for the change to take effect.
