Ok. Now I feel like a dummy. It appears that it was my local mirror that was causing the problems. After getting the mirror cleaned up, the fai-setup ran completely and I was able to get a client to boot with the sysinfo flag set. I will work with this for a bit to get more familiar with everything. However the end result is that I need to get it working on lenny as the machine that it will be running on is running lenny. I tend to use the testing flavour for my internal servers and stable for my firewall.
Thanks for the help. I may be posting again when I start working with lenny.
