I have written an ftp server in perl to aid with installations over ftp.
  http://www.ludd.luth.se/~pb/perlftp3.pl

Do like this:
  If your release is located in /path_to_relases/5.4-RELEASE on 10.0.0.99

  Type on your 10.0.0.99 freebsd machine:

    perlftp3.pl  /path_to_relases 12000

  Then start sysinstall on the machine to be installed/configured.
  Select: "3 FTP Passive  Install from an FTP server through a firewall".
  Select: "URL               Specify some other ftp site by URL"

  Type:  10.0.0.99:12000/            (complete url  ftp://10.0.0.99:12000/)

Security:
  Any user/pass combination will do.
  Will only read files.
  Locks on the IP of the first client.

I hope this ease some installation scenarios.
        /P
