vserver v16 build --force -n v16 --hostname v16.ativel.com --context 101 --interface eth0:192.168.0.16/24 -m debootstrap -- -d sarge -m http://amd64.debian.net/debian-amd64/

did work for me, thanks Corey.

What does --context 101 do, actually?

Subjectively, it is a pretty speedy machine -- even though it's only a 2.0 GHz
single-core Opteron 146. One of my old Athlon machines died in the rack, so if it's
the motherboard I'm considering fixing it up with an Athlon 64 board.

I am considering recompiling a few packages, once gcc-4.x.x is available
for Sarge. But for time being, I'd be glad just having a stable running system.
