you have to extract the image first, using bzip2 or something that can handle the format, and then mount the extracted file (should be called "debian-m5-v2.img.ext2", without .bz2).

if all these steps are supposed to be included in an installation script, a bz2 image does not make much sense, since tar on the N900 doesn't support bzip2.
