AFAIK the base system has ae as editor, so just opening /etc/apt/sources.list
and replacing stable by woody might do it. IIRC you should be able to do that
from the installer (text console on screen 2) before you reboot. It's
/target/etc/apt/sources.list there.
Pointing the installer at a http proxy you control might be another way
(swapping stable for woody there by some rewrite trick).

Just exchange 'stable' by 'woody' in the file created by the installer.

The etch-m68k installer has provisions for HD-based install ('nativehd' IIRC)-
you will have to copy all the files in the nativehd directory on the CD or the
mirror site onto your AmogaOS disk. There should be a script together with the
corresponding icon file to start the install process.
