  When Netscape says "unable to locate host", there's a networking problem
or a DNS problem. Are you sure that both aspects are OK?
  FTPD is enabled by default. You're right: it is launched by INETD.
  Could you ping the FreeBSD box? Could you access it via telnet? If
YES/YES/YES: type "ftp localhost" on the FreeBSD box and see if FTPD
answers a "local" call.
