Inconsistencies with FreeBSD installation FTP servers

[Garrett Cooper]

	For some odd reason I can't get FTP/FTP-passive based transactions  
to work on my new system (bails after the first install floppy  
completes), and when working with different releases it appears that  
older releases than 6.1 don't have kernel directories (!). Is this a  
design choice or are the maintainers perhaps missing directories when  
updating releases?
TIA,
-Garrett

PS This has been a problem since 5.4, and is only solved using NFS on  
what used to be my linux box, but unfortunately I can't specify a  
root owned NFS share in Freebsd on my former install platform, so I'm  
sort of stuck..
