you do not mount a tape device, so it doesn't make sense for it to appear in
/etc/fstab.
you can use tar to read and write tapes, e.g.:
tar cvf /dev/nst0 /usr/src/linux # write the tape with the
# contents of /usr/src/linux
tar tvf /dev/nst0 # see what's written on the
# tape
mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind # obvious: rewind the tape
see 'man tar', 'tar --help' and 'man mt' for further information. There are
also other ways to write a tape: cpio, ...
