I added the option 'debian-installer/allow_unauthenticated=true' to the
append section of the pxelinux.cfg/default file but again I get the same
"Bad archive mirror - The specified Debian archive mirror is either not
available, or does not have a valid Release file on it. Please try a
different mirror'. How do I debug in such a situation?

These are the apache access.log requests for the installation

The access log does show that the files are accessible since there is a
200 for the request. I have added
debian_installer/allow_unauthenticated=true to the append section like this:

<snip>
append vga=normal debian-installer/allow_unauthenticated=true
initrd=debian/lenny/i386/initrd.gz --
</snip>
