 May be seeing similar issue.  On my newly installed system, I am trying =
 to use /stand/sysinstall add some additional packages.  sysinstall =
 insists on using Passive FTP (I have performed tcpdump on an alternate =
 virtual console to confirm) regardless of which media option is =
 selected.

 I just did a cvsup src-all on RELENG_4_6 and am now running (according to
 sysinstall options) 4.6.1-RELEASE-p10.
 When I try to add some additional packages using passive FTP from
 ftp.freebsd.org, I get an error stating something like "can't find packages
 for release 4.6.1-RELEASE-p10."  When I change the Release Name to "any" I
 get the following error message:
 
       xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
       xUnable to get packages/INDEX file from selected media.            x
       x                                                                  x
       xThis may be because the packages collection is not available      x
       xon the distribution media you've chosen, most likely an FTP site  x
       xwithout the packages collection mirrored.  Please verify that     x
       xyour media, or your path to the media, is correct and try again.  x
       xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
 I'm sure the packages are there because I can browse to
 ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/
 
 Anyone know how to get around this?  I'd use pkg_add by hand and pull down
 the tgz files using the URL above, but this doesn't always get the necessary
 dependencies like sysinstall seems to do.  Is there a pkg_add flag to use to
 check for dependencies before trying the install?

 Grrf.  Two parts to this answer:
 
 1.  As I understand things, the value you set as the release name in the
 sysinstall options (e.g. "4.6-RELEASE") must exist as a directory in
 (for example):
 
 ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/${arch}/
 
 This is because the packages are found as a symlink under this
 directory.  So for example, "4.6-RELEASE" and "4.6.1-RC1" are valid
 release names here, but "4.6.1-RELEASE-p10" isn't.  Neither is "4.6.1", 
 because we (the RE team) never released it.  So, the short answer is 
 that if you set the release name to a directory that exists, you 
 *should* be OK.
 
 2.  For this specific case, I suggest waiting (if possible) until the
 4.6.2 package builds are done and do your package installs using
 "4.6.2-RELEASE" as the release names.  We (RE) asked the
 package-building team to rebuild packages to make sure they took into
 account all the security fixes we put into 4.6.2.  They're starting
 about now.
 
 I'd like to say we'll have 4.6.2 released in a few days, but my 
 credibility on that point is stretched pretty thin (if I have any left 
 at all!).
 
 Bruce.
