>Description:

	When using snapshot boot floppies it tries to fetch the
	distributions from the official url instead of the snapshot
	directory. As the snapshot floppies are built for the
	snapshots they should contain proper path for the snapshots.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Install netbsd 20020219-1.5ZA snapshot and try to fetch the
	distributions from the default location suggested by the
	sysinst. 

>Fix:

	Create boot floppies so that they have the url path somewhere
	which is written to have proper url for the snapshot
	installation directory. Perhaps the default url should be read
	from some config file inside the boot floppy, so it can be
	updated after the files are added to the ftp tree (i.e create
	utility which allows writing the config file to the floppy
	after it is created).
