Thanks for the info, but here is how I got it to work. I mounted the cdrom as normal. Added the line ftp:*:99:99::0:0:FTP:/cdrom:/sbin/nologin per page 5 of the install booklet. Before selecting the media for install I went to options and took out 3.1-RELEASE and changed it to none. Then went to FTP URL and type in 10.0.1.254 and it worked. If you follow the directions per the booklet you shouldn't have to change 3.1-RELEASE to none. Has anyone else had the same problem?
