Have you verified the checksum of the ISO image after you downloaded it?

What happens if you don't install ports? (you can always do it later).

How do you know that the network card doesn't work? If you go to the
emergency shell (alt-F4, IIRC) and type 'ifconfig', does it show a
network interface with 'media: Ethernet'?

Anyway, ftp install uses the same install program. So unless you have a
suspicion that it's the CD or the atapicd driver that causes the hang
instead of sysinstall, I don't think ftp install will make a difference.
