sysinstall and freebad-archive

Hi all,
I am trying to set up FreeBSD 6.3 on a system where I only have network access. For now I have a minimal installation but I need more packages and sysinstall is the quickest way I know of to install them.

However, I tried giving the ftp-archive.freebsd.org url both with and without path to URL option of Package install in sysinstall. but sysinstall complains that either:

ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/F...LEASE//pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/6.3-RELEASE cannot be found

or

ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/6.3-RELEASE cannot be found

How can I tell sysinstall to search for data in pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/i386/6.3-RELEASE/ instead of /pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/6.3-RELEAS?

thanks a lot

dave
