This was reported on PPC too, and I thought it was just a PPC anomoly.  It
seems the msec run that takes place between the bootloader setup and X
config is somehow disrupting the ftp connection.  When I disabled the msec
run in drakx and the problem went away.  Msec does bring down/up the
network connects as part of this run, although it doesn't seem to effect
an NFS install.
