IIRC the "st" module may not be loaded automatically on newer systems.
Try a "lsmod | grep st" and "modprobe st" (if it isn't listed).  If that
fixes it, there are several ways to get the module loaded (try that and
post back the results).

Yeah, I don't know why it would ever have been st4; the SCSI tape
devices have always been numbered starting with 0 in my experience (I
think I first used a SCSI tape device on Linux in 1996).

An alternate way to always access a specific tape drive by a fixed path
is via /dev/tape/by-id.
