I've successfully done an FTP install both from an initial floppy boot and from an initial disc1 CD boot. So it's not a "totally generic" problem, it might have something to do with the pathway you are following through sysinstall. Was this a brand new install or were you installing over top of a pre-existing install? If the latter did you recycle the existing disk partitions or have it wipe out everything and re-do them from scratch?
