Kevin McQuiggin <mcquiggi_at_sfu.ca> posted a question a week ago
or so where he asked pretty much the same thing. "Gordon W. Ross"
<gwr_at_mc.com>, one of the port-sun3 maintainers, responded a few
messages afterward with maybe a solution to your problem. Here is
edited text to cut to the chase (BTW: I don't know these people, I
just remember noticing the messages and then checked the archive):

Hi:
I'm having a bit of a problem installing the Sun 3 distribution from
tape. My 3/60 has an MT02 tape controller and an Archive QIC-02 60 MB
tape drive. On booting from tape (>b st(0,8,0), where LUN of the MT02
is set to 1), the tape drive is located by the ramdisk kernel as "st2"
rather than "st0". The ramdisk kernel needs to have the tape drive at
"st0" to install the miniroot. I cannot get to st2 from the booted
kernel ("device not configured" on mt -f /dev/nrst2 rewind).
I have located the MT02 docs, this tells me how to change the SCSI ID
of the controller, but not the device ID of the tape drive. How do I
set the tape drive to "st0" from "st2"? I can locate no docs on the
drive itself. There are a couple of jumpers on it but without docs I'm
in the dark!

The Sun PROM expects the tape drives to have:
st0: target 4, LUN 0
st1: target 5, LUN 0
(At least, if I recall correctly:)
Try setting the SCSI target ID = 4.
The MT02 board has an 8 position switch block near J1.
Here is the description from the F.E. handbook:
SW Factory Description
1 Off Target ID bit zero
2 Off Target ID bit one
3 On Target ID bit two (ID=4)
4 Off Not used
5 On drive type
6 (*) drive type: (* Archive: Off, Wangtek: On)
7 Off drive type
8 Off SCSI bus parity check
