Bruce was right, we just use copy:/ instead of file:/ in sources.list.

I wish I knew more about [cursing deleted] NFS.  Which directories does
it need to write?  How do I get the right RPC services started?  Argh.
It is more logical for the chrooted shell in /tmp/target to get /fai from
the cdrom by mounting from localhost than to store a duplicate of all the
packages on disk.  Getting a read-only root disk to run services is tough.
