OK, your system is running woody. First install the newest debootstrap
package on your system. Use "apt-get source debootstrap" (if you have
deb-src line for unstalbe in your sources.list file, it should be
version 0.2.39.1) and recompile it, then install the new package.
Do not try to install the binary package debootstrap from sarge,
because apt-get will try to update a lot of pacakges on your system.
Substitute stable with sarge only in /etc/fai/*, not in /etc/apt/sources.list.

Why do you want to upgrade your running system? Don't try this know!

Yep, just use sarge but not also stable in /etc/fai/sources.list

No, you can use stable (aka woody) on your running system but build
the nfsroot for FAI with sarge. That works perfectly, if you use the
newest debootstrap package.
