Hello !

Many thanks for your answer ! I looked my /usr/kernel/drv/IBMtape.conf file an 
discovered that my IBMtape.conf already has these lines as you described in your 
letter. Here is is last line of my IBMtape.conf file.

name="IBMtape" class="scsi" target=255 lun=1 block_size=0 buffering=1 
immediate=0 trailer=0 sili=0;
