Please don't talk to me about Red Hat.  I just got the following message
back from them.  All very nice but it refers to a non-existent location on
the system fresh-installed from their 5.2 operating system disk.

        The device it's self should show up in /dev/sd0 and you
should be able to access it using the `mt` and `tar` commands. 

   This is a configuration and administrative issue and doesnt
fall under the installation support we can provide.
