I have a Pentium 200 with 32MB ram and 2 250MB ide hard disks.
I installed FreeBSD 2.2.1.

I was trying to untar a file and every time I typed "tar -xf tarfile.tar"
tar would core dump.  Then I would reboot the system and tar would work,
but gcc would stop working.

Any idea what is wrong or what I can do to fix this problem?

Everytime I reboot, something works and something stops working.

Thanks for your help,
Michael
