Note 20020407-1.5ZC is a snapshot of -current, and
1.5.3_RC2 is a snapshot of -release branch.
DNS resolving is now enabled in -release branch
a few days ago, though..

sysinst uses /pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-{version}/macppc/binary/sets/
for the default path (where official release sets will appear)
to download sets, but usually snapshots are placed in
/pub/NetBSD/arch/macppc/snapshot/{date or version}/binary/sets/ ,
so you have to change ftp directory path on installation of snapshot.
