    I'm attempting to use rootstrap on Debian to create a UML. I have
    uml_switch running with the default configuration at boot time. However,
    I get the uninformative error of:

        I: Retrieving debootstrap.invalid_dists_woody_Release
        E: Failed getting release file \
            http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/dists/woody/Release

    which would seem to imply that UML networking isn't working properly.
    /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward is set to 1, and nothing else is blocking
    traffic. I'm not sure what's going wrong, but I'm thinking it has
    something to do with the tap device.

    I have the following rootstrap.conf:

        [global]
        fstype=ext3
        initialsize=1024
        freespace=0
        modules=network mkfs mount debian uml umount
        PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin

        [network]
        hostname=uml-test
        interface=eth0
        transport=daemon
        uml=10.1.1.10
        netmask=255.255.255.0
        control=/var/run/uml-utilities/uml_switch.ctl
        data=/var/run/uml-utilities/uml_switch.data
        gateway=10.1.1.1
        domain=example.com
        nameserver=10.1.1.1

        [debian]
        dist=woody
        mirror=http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/
        exclude=pcmcia-cs setserial

        [base-config]
        root_password=password

        [uml]
        install_modules=yes

    What am I doing wrong?
