Configuration problems DECnsr



Oh, tho wise ones!,

We have got an Alpha DEC 3000/600s AXP, with a
DEC rw524-ZA optical jukebox connected on the
second SCSI controller at channel B.
The SCSI address of the media changer is 3 and 
the address of the optical diskdrive is 4.

We have the os OSF/1 2.0 installed. The problem
is that the jukebox isn't configured in the 
configuration file. We have no software
documentation (yet). We looked at the man-pages
mc(7) and op(7) and found the config-info.

Part of the config:

callout after_c "../bin/mktcdata"

The lines with the arrow were inserted, following the man-pages.
After making a new kernel and rebooting with it, we tried the
command 'file /dev/mc27'. This results in a system panic and a 
reboot. What did we forget to do? (options?)
(yes we also tried 'device disk' instead of 'disk' to no avail)

Please help us...
