I've forgot but now remembered that there was some problem with
Netvision's name servers, which provided a stale information about
il.freebsd.org sub-domain to anyone connected to that ISP. But this
problem seems to be resolved several months ago.

I'm attaching a patch which adds the ftp.il.freebsd.org mirror
to the sysinstall(8). Could you please commit it or I should submit it
as a new PR? This patch has been made on a 6.2-PRERELEASE system.
