mt on NT

[Stephen Hansen]

I have installed cygwin on a couple of Win2k machines, and everything
works great.  But, I have had a couple of problems installing on NT.
The first was man, which I fixed according to instructions in the FAQ
(Sometime I would like to know why ash gets loaded sometimes and not
others.)  The other problem is with mt.

When I try to manipulate the tape with

mt -f /dev/nt0 status

it responds

mt: '(null)' is not a tape device.

When I try

mt -f /dev/nt0 setblk 0

it responds

mt: '0' is not a tape device.

It's as if mt is looking at the fifth field for the device.

Any ideas?
