[foxboro] dmp0_8MM script on AW51E

We recently upgraded our AW51B to an AW51E.  I went to do a tape backup and 
following the procedure that we have been using for years, got to the step that 
checks for rst9 in the /dev directory.  It wasn't there so I did a boot -r. 
When the box came back up I checked the /dev directory to see if the device 
file was there and it still wasn't there.  

Checked my FoxDoc CD and noticed that on both D & E boxes that there were 4 
devices listed for tape backups:  rst0, rst9, rst29, and rst36.  The only one 
that was in my directory was rst36.  Tried running /usr/local/add_periphs 
script and it still didn't add rst9.

Tried running mt -f /dev/rstX status on all of the rst entries in the /dev 
directory and about half of them returned a response saying that they reconized 
a 4mm tape including rst36.  Is there something about the E box that it won't 
create rst9 or am I going to have to hack the dmp0_8MM script to use a 
different rst device.
