 The latter made it necessary to boot off floppy as I have yet to find a
 way to make it boot through the NT loader.

You should be able to start the NT loader through LILO. An entry
like this should work:

other=/dev/hda1
   label=nt

I have had to play games like booting from the NT rescue floppy and
fixing the boot loader (NT seems to be very particular about where on
the disk the ntldr executable lives), then booting Linux off CD and
running LILO with a lilo.conf entry like the above. If you select nt,
then the regular NT loader screen should appear.

 The only difference between them is passive ftp remains on port 21 while
 standard (active) ftp makes a connection then transitions to an arbitrary
 high port. The high ports are where I'm having problems.

Sounds like you are running FTP from behind a firewall. Try running
tcpdump to see if
packets are actually coming in and getting dropped, or getting dropped
somewhere before
they ever get to your system.

I noticed this too, and I solved it by symlinking /etc/resolv.conf to
/etc/dhcpcd/resolv.conf
It is an ugly kludge, but it works. I also found that dhcpcd-sv on my
system really only works when it first starts. I basically had to
restart it each time the card is inserted in order for it to work
properly.
