I'm seeing the exact same problems for my setup that I tried this weekend.
However, I'm using the latest boot floppies (the SNAP ones...). I did not
try it with the original boot floppies yet.

Seems that ftp is broken (at least for me), since I can telnet from the
install machine to the server. I ruled out hardware problems, since two
other OS's run fine on the same hardware setup...

I turned debug on in one of the ftp sessions, and the machine panicked
and rebooted. I didn't get a chance to see the message, and have been 
unable to reproduce the panic.

On the server side things look normal. (ie. it thinks it has established 
a connection).
