It must be SCSI address 0 to function as an IPL device.
  The controller must also be in a specific slot reserved for IPL.
  The best way would be to IPL from the IBASE CD, then select Alternate Install 
Device from the IPL menu and select your tape drive.

  I need to quickly set up my 3570 tape drive as an IPL device. How do I
go about doing that? I seem to recall that it has to be set at a certain
SCSI setting - is that correct? It is in the system unit of my 820 and I
could potentially move it to a different slot if needed.
