The problem is that if the first retrieval of the "Release" file fails it will leave behind a "0" byte file which is a "malformed" release file. You maybe need to delete that manually by switching to a different console or use a shell exit. The file is in the /target/var/lib/apt or something. I once opened a bug for this and i think it should be fixed in the current bootfloppies.
