You can try to use the new Debian Installer d-i, but if it doesn not
work (which it quite well might at this stage) then simply install
Woody using the provided media and documentation on www.debian.org and
change your
/etc/apt/sources.list
to point to sid instead of woody and do a
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade

P.S. It is either sid or Sid (these are names of the movie Toy Story
and synonyms for release names, not abbreviations).
