st0 would indicate a SCSI drive...you'll only be able to talk to that drive on st0 if you've got the ide-scsi module running.
ftape is for floppy based drives...you won't get it to go that way. ht0 should be the correct device. However, if you load the sg and ide-scsi modules, you should be able to access the drive as st0.
