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:

# 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
