This time I lucky: "Base" distribution set get right, and when "Generic"
started downloading, I reached the console you mean.

netstat -i says there are no errors.

second console says following:

/stand/cpio: invalid header: checksum error
/stand/cpio: warning: skipped <number> bytes of junk
/stand/cpio:  : No such file or directory


While downloading, such messages run out very fast.
Then, sysinstall says:

User confirmation requested
Unable to transfer the GENERIC distribution from ftp://ftp10.freebsd.org.
Do you want to try to retrieve it again?
