Selecting the http proxy method on installation media with 4.4-RC1 causes sysinstall to look at a bogus path on releng4.freebsd.org.  It should be looking at ftp://releng4.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/4.3-20010816-STABLE.  Instead, it looks at ftp://releng4.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots//snapshots/i386/4.3-20010816-STABLE

How-To-Repeat: Run sysinstall and do Standard install process.  Select HTTP as the installation media and releng4.freebsd.org as the server, and set up the network interface and proxy settings.  Start the install.  After it has newfs'd the disk, it will attempt to connect to server and will fail.

I've tried to duplicate this but cannot.  Following up with the 
originator with some debugging tips to get more information.

The software is fine.  However the FTP sites are not kept up to date 
when we change the releasename parameters in newvers.sh.  Perhaps a 
comment to that file will help.
