freebsd stable - Nov 2005 - /create/symlink failed: no inodes free

Trying to put FBSD 6.0-Stable on a box and the error in the subject line
(/create/symlink failed: no inodes free) comes up right after the
filesystems are made and the transfer over FTP starts.  What causes this
error?

I've found this tends to happen if the install is aborted then restarted.

still present trying to install 6.0 on a 600Mhz celery, 384 ram, 8g hdd; 
ftp install.  will attempt the explicit ip idea.

does every first attempt at ftp choke like this?
