Take these instructions with a grain of salt as I have a 7260.
This is what I have done in similar situations:
1. Create a partition in the sdcard with fdisk.
2. Format the partition with mkfs.ext2.
3. Mount the partition somewhere under /mnt.
4 Untar the *.tar file to the mounted partition.
For the creation of partitions I actually create 3 partitions that look
as follows in fdisk:
> Device Boot Start End Blocks Id
> System
> /dev/sdcard0/disc0/part1 1 4 1008 83
> Linux
> /dev/sdcard0/disc0/part2 5 8 1024 83
> Linux
> /dev/sdcard0/disc0/part3 20 15704 4015360 83
> Linux
I format the third partition as such:
mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdcard0/disc0/part3
I have a mount point in /mnt that I created with:
mkdir /mnt/sdcard0
I mount the fromated partition as follows:
mount /dev/sdcard0/disc0/part3 /mnt/sdcard0
finally I untar the file with:
tar jxvf <bzip2 file> -C /mnt/sdcard0
I am doing this from memory and I hope I did not miss a step or mistype
a command.
