agreed, on the server I have a tape drive on I have the following:

cat /etc/modules.conf
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias eth0 natsemi
alias usb-controller usb-ohci
alias eth1 8139too
alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx


the device /dev/st0 is created once the tape device is plugged in (and 
terminated)  :-)

Kind regards
