Once you're in installation mode and have set up the FTP server details switch to another terminal and see if Anaconda spits out any errors. Else try and access the FTP share using 'ftp' or 'curl' if it's available in the environment to find out if you can actually see repo data. If you're going to post errors please post exact ones. (BTW I don't know if you did but you shouldn't dump packages in /var/ftp/pub but a tree structure the installer understands like /var/ftp/pub/mirrors/redhat/i386/RedHat/.)
