I have no idea if this is a bug or not.  It's possible, but I don't know 
how likely,
as it's definitely not a common complaint on this list.  Have you 
checked the PR
database to see if you can find any mention of this?

Keep in mind that sysinstall is meant to *install* the system, not 
administrate it
on a daily basis (/me dons asbestos underclothing), generally speaking.

What do you get from

%cat /etc/rc.conf

??
