I did this from behind our firewall at DEC a couple of months
ago. Here is how you do it:
When the main installation window comes up, select the Options
page. On the options page change the logon name from ftp to
anonymous@ftp.freebsd.org and for the password use name@ or
whatever. I use reggie@.
Use q to quit the options page and proceed with the install procedure.
When you get to the medium choices use FTP. Do NOT use Passive FTP.
When you are asked to choose the site, choose alternate URL. When you
are asked for the URL use:
ftp://proxy-server:1555/pub/FreeBSD/
Make sure you set the networking to point to your name server.
This should allow you to do the ftp install through your ftp proxy
server.
