You can compile the ftape driver into the kernel directly (assuming it
is supported -- check the Linux Harware-HOWTO to see)
http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/Hardware-HOWTO.html
In make config, choose 'Y' for your driver instead of 'M'.
When you boot up, your system should recognize the tape drive.
