There is still good old v26 release:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtmoko/files/OldFiles/OldStable-GTA02-v26/

If you want to create jffs2 out of tarbal you also need to change /etc/fstab 
and most likely "root" and "rootfstype" arguments in bootloader. But maybe you 
could boot it with NOR uboot.
