Oh! Okay, if I run it with a target of "./sid-sparc64-sbuild" from my home directory, it works. Or at least, retrieves and begins to validate packages. If I run it with a target of /z, the ZFS filesystems I want to install onto, it gives the "Invalid Release file" error. That help in figuring out what I need to do? I presume debootstrap is able to install into created/mounted filesystems, I suspect there's just something "off" somewhere that's confusing it. -Chris
