Miniroot's tar is ok. The problem was that the cf card in pcmcia slot did not 
work correctly. I was trying to extract a tar file from pcmcia slot to cf slot 
using miniroot, which did not work.

I copied the tar files to the msdos partition of the cf slot using wince. Then 
I extracted tar files using just one cf card and everything worked ok.

Maybe netbsd's driver for the pcmcia slot has some problem.
