Regardless, something has changed- coincidentally in all likelihood. 
That message simply says the driver in the kernel isn't there or isn't
properly configured for the device.

Probably a plug and play tape- Win ME reconfigured it- try "sconf -v" to
see howit is configured and the redo /etc/conf/cf.d/mscsi (and relink).
