I just checked the fai-cd for 3.0. The correct sources.list is in etc/fai/apt

suenner[/fai-cd3]# cat etc/fai/apt/sources.list
# mirror location for fai CD, file generated by fai-cd
deb file:/media/mirror testing main 


On the old fai-cd (pre 3) another location was
used. IT was /etc/apt/sources.list which had the correct entry for a
fai-cd. 
suenner[/old-fai-cd]# cat etc/apt/sources.list 
# mirror location for fai CD, file generated by fai-cd
deb file:/media/mirror stable main 


Maybe the problem is that the location for the special sources.list
(for fai-cd) has changed.
