Thanks for your advice, Brian.

Are you referring to "It is not possible to install sid from a netinst
or full CD. Please use the netboot installation method". I certainly
missed that. My apologies.

Setting up a tftp server in a remote data centre rack is something I'd
like to avoid, but I certainly can if the ability to downgrade the
installation is unique to the netboot method.

Thanks again,
Rory
