Stefan,
thanks for your perseverance - it does appear something is wrong with
the tar program from FreeMINT.
Hi, i had better results now, after i got this hint on the MiNT-List:
You might look into HDDRIVER specs also. Although never tried myself,
it should be able to write single partition images to a predefined
place
on a raw disk.

Markus, thanks! This was the key was the correct one!
I transfered m68k-base.e2z to my Falcon (FreeMinNT),
then did 'zcat m68k-base.e2z | dd of=debian.img'
Then i run HDDRUTIL.PRG and choose "Load image" from the
'Partition' Menu. I did not check the byteswap checkbox.
Now i can boot Debian, too.
If you could unpach the tarball again to a separate free partition in
FreeMINT, a comparison of the contents of working and broken partition
might give some clues as to what went wrong in the first instance.
(assuming you did not use up all the space on the disk. Unpacking it
into a subdirectory of the mounted Debian partition would work just as
well. And error messages from tar should be possible to catch by IO
redirection of stderr. Or by omission of the 'v' flag in the first
instance).
Cheers,
Michael
