I'm in the process of installing a 9.3 system.

"pkg install foo" seems to work fine, fetching from the network.
However, if I run sysinstall (forgot to include the handbook), it fails
when trying to fetch from the network.  I've tried both FTP mode and
FTP through firewall mode.  What does sysinstall do that's different when 
trying to fetch from the network?

This is going through a firewall running natd and ipfw, so it may be a
firewall rule problem.  But I would have thought they would either both
fail or both succeed.

I've tried several different fbsd ftp sites, including the main one.

tcpdump fragment:

Looks to me like it should be working?

Thanks,
