to expound on what Henning already said (and since this ? has been asked a
few times already), you'll note in src/distrib/miniroot/install.sub the
line:
ftp ${_ftp_active} -V -a -o /tmp/ftplist
ftp://129.128.5.191/pub/OpenBSD/${VERSION_MAJOR}.${VERSION_MINOR}/ftplist
> /dev/null

which is run when you ask for a list of ftp servers.
${VERSION_MAJOR}.${VERSION_MINOR} is 3.2 in the case of current snapshots,
and the dir /pub/OpenBSD/3.2/ doesn't exist yet.

it's not a bug.  it's something you, as a snapshot user, get to work
around - you're using snapshots tagged as 3.2, which will not have its own
dir until december, so you get to manually add the server name or path
name you need.
