No, I always used the same cf card in the cf slot.

I did boot the 3.0 miniroot from pcmcia slot. I had a cf card in pcmcia slot 
which contained all hpcsh software of version 3.0. In that case the cf card in 
cf slot was wd1. Normally it's wd0. In this case tar did not work. Then I 
copied everything from cf in pcmcia slot to msdos partition of cf slot using 
wince, and removed the cf in pcmcia slot. After that the installation went just 
fine.

The conclusion is that netbsd doesn't work very well if there are two cf cards 
in jornada. Wince did the copying of files fine. This is not a problem for me 
because I wanted to use two cf just for the installation.
