>Description:
	Problems when installing 5.0 SNAPSHOT-20021119 over FTP.
        After inserting network settings the nslookup fails for any server.
        Restarting the sysinstall (Ctrl-C -> restart) at this point
        and re-entering all the data resolves the nslookup thing but
        Then after retrieving the first chunk, a write error, filesystem
        full error is given.

        The sysinstall restart seems to fix the nslookup but does seem to break
        other things (dosen't the filesystem get mounted properly anymore?)
   
        A roundabout to the problem is to specify the ftp as an IP for the first
        time, if the sysinstall is not restarted, the filesystem error problem
        does not occur.

        Sorry if this is duplicate but could not find it from gnats and the
        google story was for 4.6.2 problem
>How-To-Repeat:
	1. Boot from floppies
        2. Standard installation
        3. Select FTP as medium
        4. Enter network data (including dns)
        5. Try to install from any ftp
        
        nslookup for the site should hang

        6. Press CTRL-C and select Restart
        7. repeat steps 2-5
        
        nslookup should not fail this time and the installation
        should continue to download packets but after the first
        chunk is received an write error is reported that filesystem
        is full.
>Fix:

	No idea, roundabout -> specify FTP from URL and enter address
        as IP number, DO NOT RESTART the sysinstall from CTRL-C

 boot from 4.8rc1 cd and restart sysinstall gives same error.

 Is this PR still being investigated? The problem is still present in
 5.4-RELEASE (and I presume -STABLE). When sysinstall fails to look up the
 FTP server (possibly due to kern/76890), after something like 5 or 10
 minutes of trying, it lets you basically start over. Upon starting over,
 it tries to write all of the files to the memory disk instead of the
 actual server's drives.

 As of Friday, February 23rd, 2007 this is still a problem in 6.2-RELEASE 
 (for i386).  You can reproduce the problem by booting off of a CD-ROM as 
 well.  The suggestion to FTP into a specified IP Address over a fully 
 qualified domain name seems to work.  The above referenced bug 
 (kern/76890) is now closed, therefore an unlikely cause of this current 
 problem.
