 Is this PR still being investigated? The problem is still present in
 5.4-RELEASE (and I presume -STABLE). When sysinstall fails to look up the
 FTP server (possibly due to kern/76890), after something like 5 or 10
 minutes of trying, it lets you basically start over. Upon starting over,
 it tries to write all of the files to the memory disk instead of the
 actual server's drives.
