We have a L9 with DLT8000 (HVD) at work, and its tape drive shows up just
fine as /dev/rmt/x after a 'devsfadm' or 'boot -r'. It is connected thusly:
If you look at the back, the connection to the server is at the rightmost
connector. One connection to the left is the passthrough cable, which
connects to the lower connector at the left. At the upper connector is a HVD
terminator. Hope this helps.
