5.2-RC1 fails to install via NFS

[Patrick Tracanelli]

Hello, i have just noted and issue on 5.2-RC1 that was not there on 5.1.

Sysinstall's FreeBSD 5.2-RC1 fails to install remotely via NFS. I have 
just mounted the ISO image as vnode and exported it (the NFS server runs 
5.1-R) to install the system in a Toshiba Satellite 1405.

I've booted the system with the floppy disks and sysinstall refused to 
mount the NFS export claiming /dist could not be found (at the moment 
the maintainance shell didnt even have ls(1) installed to make sure the 
mount point wasnt really there).

So i decided to boot with 5.1-R floopy disks, changed Release Name to 
look for 5.2-RC1 on the NFS server and everything just worked fine.

It can be easily repeated just trying to install the system via NFS.
