At least some versions of the root disk have a non-GNU tar, which does
not understand the z option (for working with .tar.Z type files). Try
using a pipeline with zcat and tar:
zcat < /dev/fd0 | tar tvf -
(the above should print out the contents of the rawritten compressed
tar in the first floppy drive).
