Do you perhaps mean mt rather than mnt?  If so it's in the mt-st package.

yum search mt-st

mt-st.i386                               0.9b-3.fc7

"The mt-st package contains the mt and st tape drive management
programs. Mt (for magnetic tape drives) and st (for SCSI tape devices)
can control rewinding, ejecting, skipping files and blocks and more.

Install mt-st if you need a tool to  manage tape drives."


You can install this package with:

yum install mt-st

Hope this helps

Simon.
