[PC-BSD Testing] Network Install Bug

Network Install PCBSD9.0-BETA1
Two Problems:
1. Unable to get netinstall mirrors through proxy servers
2. Select mirror dialog box does not set mirror install path when
having to negotiate with a proxy server.
After choosing to install from the network, pcbsd installer presents a
dialog box that allows the user to select a mirror on the internet or
a repository within the local network. The app “times out” because it
cannot find a mirror and presents the user with the option to install
from a local network. If the user types in a mirror (site and
directory) the dialog box disappears; however when the user “clicks”
on the Next button, the option dialog box comes back - empty.
What was done:
Launched an xterm at the beginning of the install process. From the
command line:
setenv http_proxy http://my.company.proxy.server.com:8000.
setenv ftp_proxy http://my.company.proxy.server.com:8000
(there is no need for user : password option)
also tried:
set http_proxy http://my.company.proxy.server.com:8000
set ftp_proxy http://my.company.proxy.server.com:8000
export http_proxy
export ftp_proxy
The pc-installer was still unable to retrieve a list of mirrors. (the
installer uses a fetch -o /tmp/mirrors-list.txt
http://some.website.org to retrieve the list).
>From the command line:
ifconfig em0:
The return is what I expected (received ip from corporate dhcp
server). The only issue was the netmask was set 255.255.255.255
instead of 255.255.255.128. I manually set the netmask.
>From the command line I could ping the gateway, DNS servers and some
other PC's on the network. I was also able to ping www.google.com but
could not ping any pcbsd mirror.
I manually edited the /tmp/mirrors-list.txt file. When I selected the
install from network, the entries showed up in the dialog box. I
selected a mirror and “clicked” Select and the dialog box disappeared;
however when I selected Next, it came back.
I tried a netinstall on the same type of box at home (no proxy) and
the installer contacted the website and successfully created a list of
mirrors to choose from, BUT that is as far as it got. After the select
button is “pressed” the dialog box disappears, and reappears after
selecting the Next button. Endless loop.
Attached are the results from pcconf -l -cv
