this is cdebootstrap failing on your mirror; which is either a fault of
cdebootstrap or your mirror. pass --debug to cdebootstrap so see the
actual cause.

apart from that, it's recommended to use debootstrap, not cdebootstrap.

hmm, sounds like very strange syslinux behaviour.

yep; syslinux labels are not that handy right now. they should be
adjusted so that we have 'live' as default method, and 'live-$flavour'
whereas $flavour designates the kernel flavour string (e.g. 486 or 686).

patches welcome :)
