Try setting the release name to exactly '7.0-RELEASE' as described in the error message. There's a package set generated for each OS release, but not one for each different patch level. 7.0-RELEASE packages should be available on all ftp servers at the moment. You can see the list of release names supported via sysinstall at: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ (replace i386 with amd64 if you're on that architecture) Note that this will get you package versions which were current at the time of 7.0-RELEASE, and there have been a good number of updates (including security updates) that have gone in since. Updated packages certainly do exist on the FTP servers but I can't see how to access them from sysinstall. Learning how to use pkg_add(1) (which can reach the parts of ftp.freebsd.org that sysinstall apparently cannot) is probably your best bet.
