I'm not positive, but I believe that this was caused by one of the
many recent problems with BusyBox sed. I think it was mangling
the Release file incorrectly, causing it not to download the
Package files, causing it not to be able to download packages.
I'm going to verify this tomorrow, and if this is indeed the case,
the latest BusyBox upload should fix it, so I'll go ahead and
close this bug.
Once termwrap is added to base-files, I think we'll be ready for a
new boot-floppies build which will Just Work (TM).
