If system.tgz only contains directories and not the files, it's certainly not going to be enough, and you certainly can't boot it either, or extract it to a raw disk. You need to figure out what's doing the partitioning of the disks.
These machines are probably network-booting with PXE. PXE works by a DHCP server giving custom command-strings in their DHCP replies which tell the machines what files to download and run from what tftp server.
