ANSWER: netinst requires a remote server, those servers now have stable
set as Etch. However, businesscard does a complete base install using
stable (Sarge) on the iso. So, you can use the businesscard.iso to
install a complete _base_ Sarge install (i.e. no tasksel or other
applications). After the reboot, edit your sources to change them to the
appropriate Sarge entries, rather then the default stable entries, and
run apt-get update to refresh apt's cache.
