Well, considering I've never ever run IPCOP, let's try :)
Go to http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php and click on "Download Boinc".
Download the boinc_5.8.16_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh file and save it somewhere (let's say in /opt).
Install it like this:
# cd /opt/
# chmod +x boinc_5.8.16_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh
# ./boinc_5.8.16_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh
Follow instructions and start boinc.
===========
Once you get so far, let us know and we'll help you to get through the rest.
Also, run command
# cat /proc/cpuinfo
and paste the output here.

OK did you execute boinc? That's the next command after chmod:
# ./boinc_5.8.16_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh
Have you run boinc? Does it run? Were you able to connect to Seti project?

Download the file again.

Download the file again.
After download (direct from ADSL Router) and use WinSCP copy to /home
root@IPCMT:/home # chmod +x boinc_5.8.16_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh

I have to conclude that your distribution provides incomplete/broken/obsolete version of tar so you cannot install Boinc on your computer. Sorry.
Try another distribution of Linux. I recommend
* Ubuntu
* Fedora Core
* OpenSuse

I just did this on my IpCop box. The correct command to install Boinc is:
sh boinc_5.10.28_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh
You don't need to chmod it either.
also make sure when you transfer the file to IpCop it is done in binary mode and not text mode. WinSCP defaulted to text mode for .sh files. I got the same errors as the OP when the file was transfered as text.
There is a nice little addon for IpCop here that will let you control Boinc from the web GUI.
