Is this tarball of the root filesystem?
You cannot just tarball a root filesystem onto a newly formatted disk and expect it to work. You first have to setup the disk to leave first cylinder free for the GRUB legacy bootloader. You also have to allow for a suitable swap partition.

debnest_make
DEBNEST_MAKE(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation DEBNEST_MAKE(1)
NAME
debnest_make - creates a nested debian source package tree
SYNOPSIS
debnest_make <.dsc> [<suffix>]
DESCRIPTION
Debnest is a program to create a nested debian source package tree from the specified debian source control file <.dsc>. The nested debian
source package will be named as <its original source package>-debian by default and its upstream version will be <original debian source
version> and its revision will be 1. If you want to change -debian, you can specify it to second argument.
EXAMPLES
This creates debnest-debian-0.0.1/ and debnest-debian-0.0.1.orig/
~$ debnest_make /tmp/debnest_0.0.1.dsc
~$ ls
debnest-debian-0.0.1/ debnest-debian-0.0.1.orig/
~$ cd debnest-debian-0.0.1
~$ debuild
~$ ls ..
debnest-debian-0.0.1/ debnest-debian_0.0.1-1_i386.changes
debnest-debian_0.0.1-1.diff.gz debnest-debian_0.0.1.orig.tar.gz
debnest-debian_0.0.1-1.dsc debnest_0.0.1-1_all.deb
~$ tar ztf ../debnest-debian_0.0.1.orig.tar.gz
debnest-debian-0.0.1.orig/
debnest-debian-0.0.1.orig/debnest_0.0.1.tar.gz
debnest-debian-0.0.1.orig/debnest_0.0.1.dsc
This creates debnest-local-0.0.1/ and debnest-local-0.0.1.orig/
~$ debnest_make /tmp/debnest_0.0.1.dsc -local
~$ ls
debnest-local-0.0.1/ debnest-local-0.0.1.orig/
ENVIRONMENT
EMAIL, DEBEMAIL
If either of these variables is set, it will be used as the
maintainer/uploader's email address.
If both are set, DEBEMAIL will take precedence.
If neither is set, the current user's email address (or, if that
fails, the email of the last original package uploader)
will be used.
DEBFULLNAME
The maintainer/uploader's full name to be used.
If unset, the name specified in the passwd file or,
if there is none, the name of the last
original package uploader.
DEBNEST_RULES
The rules file to be used. If unset, /usr/share/debneset/rules is
used. If you want to use cdbs based rules, you would set it
'/usr/share/debnest/rules-cdbs'. Because /usr/share/debnest/
is a default search path, you can specify just 'rules-cdbs'.
EXTRA_BUILDDEP
Extra build-dependency to be added in your new debian/control.
Default is ", debnest"
