OK - the tape drive isn't listed there. So, at the very least, you'll need to
issue a full mount command (check man mount) - you need to specify the device
(/dev/sta0 or whatever it is), a mount point (create a directory something
like /media/tape) and the FS type, among other things.
You could also try 'fdisk -l' as root, with the drive connected. This will
list all the drives known to the system, with various bits of information
about them.
