If I'm understanding you, you are unable to install using FTP from your
machine, using the distribution CD.

The easiest fix I can think of is to create an ftp user (ftp or freebsd)
and make a symbolic link to the CD within this user's home directory

# adduser
   ... add "ftp"

# cd ~ftp
# ln -s /cdrom/3.2-RELEASE .

Then retry the installation.

I apologize if this isn't what you were asking.  In that case, let me
know where I got lost.
