Okay, so this last URL is supposed to work, but please verify that this
URL works from another system (especially the // between debian and
dists).

Now this is... interesting. Do you have an FTP-server log that shows what
exactly is being attempted? In particular, is the _installer_ requesting
"/c:/" (which should fail) or is the FTP-server mistranslating into
"/c:/debian/" instead of "/c:/temp/debian/" as you mentioned earlier?
Either way, this might not be relevant, see below:
May 19 08:40:58 net-retriever: Not verifying Release signature:
unauthenticated mode enabled
May 19 08:41:04 anna[700]: WARNING **: bad d-i Packages file
[..snip..]
The installer is probably looking for either
ftp://192.168.1.77/debian/dists/squeeze/main/debian-installer/binary-s390/Packages
or
ftp://192.168.1.77/debian/dists/stable/main/debian-installer/binary-s390/Packages
(You should see which in your FTP-server log.)
My guess is that it's requesting /stable/ which does not exist because
your Windows system doesn't support symlinks.
So in your FTP tree, copy the entire "dists/squeeze" directory to a new
"dists/stable" directory, and verify that both above ftp:// URLs are
working.
If the installer works better now, please file a bug against
debian-installer that installing from (at least) FTP without /stable/
symlink fails even though other parts of the installer seem to work fine
without it, and refer to this mail thread
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-cd/2012/05/msg00096.html).
[In case this is really totally insurmountable inside the installer, it
might be an option to have "stable" be the real directory on CD/DVD, and
"squeeze" be the symlink. Though this would need some further testing. And
it would be somewhat undesirable since it won't match official FTP any
longer.]
Best regards,
Anne Bezemer
