boot -r should allow you to see the drive (most of them).
What kind of configuration are you talking about ?
If you are talking about compression or things like that, You have to chosse the device correctly.
ex /dev/rmt/0c will compress. Too bad I.T. is not cash business

What OS and what type of drive?
The configuration is in /kernel/drv/st.conf, but certain drives are built-in and do not require configuration, others do. And, depending on your drive/application you may want to over-ride the standard config.

look into the "mt" command ... stands for 'magnetic tape' ...
should show all commands relating the controlling the tape ...
if you want to use it for backup and restore though, you'll want to look at a few backup commands like 'ufsdump' 'tar' and (ick) 'cpio'
