>Description:
A boot-only of a 7.2 beta (announced 10 apr 2009) enters sysinstall as
normal, but cannot connect to the ftp mirrors: leads to timeout. Possibly
same issue for non-amd64 machines. A boot-only reinstall on same machines
of 7.1 version works fine. Tried several mirrors from the ftp-list.
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot-only 64-bits 7.2 beta: sysinstall

 Problem no longer occurs for 7.2 RC1 as long as one of the primary 
 mirrors is selected. The country sites do not have RC1 yet. Tested for 
 both amd64 and i386.

 I am having this issue with 8.0-RELEASE amd64 CD1
 
 I tried the install multiple times.  I tried the main FTP server, ftp4,
 and ftp4.usa.openbsd.org, but all timed out.  It appears to be unable
 to resolve the name, as if it is not using the DNS settings I gave it.
 I confirmed I have network connectivity to the machine from a different
 subnet, so IP and gateway are OK.  Also moved outside the firewall just
 to test that (shouldn't matter for DNS resolution) but it always just
 times out on name resolution.
 
 All other settings checked as well...  I even did an ftp install of
 OpenBSD just to make sure all network hardware was OK.

 This actually is an issue. Both 7.1 and 7.2 cannot be installed via 
 boot-only from the mirrors. This occurs for 64-bit installations. Please 
 advise on whether to reopen this issue or open a new one.

 I just experienced the very same problem trying to install from
 FreeBSD-8.2-BETA1-amd64-bootonly.iso. After entering the FTP installation 
 options, the system would respond with "cannot resolve hostname 
 ftp.at.freebsd.org".
 
 I tried both DHCP and static IP - with the same result.
 
 The system I tried to install is an HP DL360 G7.
 
 I ended up installing from FreeBSD-8.1-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso, which 
 worked without any problems.
 
 So, this bug still seems to exist ... :-(
