Aha! Now I understand.

Ok, I have the SYSTEM password reset, and the license pak installed. Next task is to perform backups. First attempt to do that has presented my next learning opportunity:

How do I respond to tape mount requests on the same console where I'm running BACKUP? When I get the request asking whether to create a new tape volume, it doesn't seem to respond to terminal input.
