What can be done to get access to f33?

Were any original directories encrypted? Can you boot in rescue mode?

If not, then you may have to arrange an alternate bootable drive (Live distro?).

Once you are booted in linux you can mount the root directory and do some

basic sanity checks for proper permissions, missing home directories, etc.

More details of the command used to create the tar archive might be useful.

You may be better off installing a fresh system and restoring just the home

directories and other changes outside the purview of distro (/opt, /usr/local, etc).
