Something like this should work:
# echo >>/etc/apt/apt.conf 'APT::Default-Release "squeeze";'
# echo >>/etc/apt/sources.list 'deb http://cdn.debian.net/debian/ sid
main'
# apt-get update
...
# apt-get install -t unstable linux-image-3.1.0-1-amd64
You may want to adjust the mirror name in the APT source line - or if
you already have an unstable source then of course you shouldn't add a
duplicate.
