that I can use
scsishost= to force the order of detection. Where do I put this
parameter - in the lilo.conf file as an append option?


like with all other parameters it depends upon scsi_mod being built in or
mnodule.

It is built in so I assume append scsihost=xxx

Also, since the tape drive appears in both /dev/st (devfs namespace0 and /dev/tapes (kernel namespace) is there any advantage, disadvantage to
making the link to one over the other.


/dev/st gives you permanent (module SCSI host number) address. /dev/tapes
name float. Add another tape and all numbers may be off.

Good point.  I'll link to the st stuff.
