This is where I get to this time: as you can see, I started up 
from the boot floppy for 1.5ZC, and that path won't work. Every 
time I try to edit it, the install process hangs. I have reboot to 
open firmware (bear in mind I have to do this on console, since 
video doesn't work).

  The following is the ftp site, directory, user, and password 
currently ready to use.  If "user" is "ftp", then the password is 
not needed.

  host:           ftp.netbsd.org
  directory:      pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.5ZC/macppc/binary/sets
  user:           ftp

Why isn''t the snapshot directory the default location on a 
snapshot install?
