You need a real GNUtar. I use superrescue if the machine has a CD-ROM
drive:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/dist/superrescue/v2/README

Otherwise i install a small Linux system on the first hard-disk
partition. (Debian base install from floppy) Then i do normal Amanda
recovery. The small partition can either be used for /boot afterwards
(keeping it as a rescue system and just putting the lilo files in its
root) or formatted as swap.
