The following has now happened to me twice, so far.

- I boot from floppy and begin a Novice install, either one of the
  3.x STABLE snapshots or with 3.1-RELEASE.

- Once extraction of binaries begins, I go away and don't come back
  until some hours later.

- When I get back, the extraction has already completed and the 
  machine has rebooted itself.

Thus the post-installation configuration (setting timezone etc.) got
skipped.  It's as if sysinstall waited for me to do something, and
eventually timed out and just rebooted the machine.
