>Description:
Simple installation from FTP and miniroot.fs will not fork correctly. IP address of DNS server that you type in "DNS Domain" field will be ignoring and sysinst cannot connect to any distribution server by its name.
>How-To-Repeat:
1) Boot from miniroot.fs and start sysinst
2) Select "Get distribution from FTP" (possible from HTTP too)
3) Input your proper network interface setup
4) You will got error "unable to find hostname" of your FTP server
>Fix:
1) Exit to shell
2) Set DNS server manually:
# echo nameserver aa.bb.cc.dd >> /tmp/resolv.conf.shadow
where aa.bb.cc.dd - IP address of your DNS server, e.g. 8.8.8.8
3) Run sysinst again

 It seems to work for me:

  The following are the values you entered.

  DNS Domain:             aprisoft.de
  Host Name:              nelly  
  Primary Interface:      hme0
  Host IP:                192.168.111.60
  Netmask:                255.255.255.0
  IPv4 Nameserver:        192.168.111.42
  IPv4 Gateway:           192.168.111.42
  Media type:             autoselect

                               +-----------------+
                               | Are they OK?    |
                               |                 |
                               |>a: Yes          |
                               | b: No           |
                               +-----------------+


 And then it can access ftp.netbsd.org.
