I couldn't find any combination of URL which would allow an install direct from the CD mounted on a remote machine. Previously (2.0.5, 2.1R etc.) it always seemed to work OK if a trailing slash was used as well, eg. ftp://hostname//cdrom/ ^^^ with the 960501 CD, no combination of URL appeared to load both the root image and the dists successfully.
