After full reboot (by itself) it went into the questions again, I got a little further (some choices already there and OK, and I got faster ;-), then again rebooted. This continued for several times until I managed to get it to the point where it started downloading (ftp) the package list (?), and it gets to about 25% of the download completed, then reboots. This is totally repeatable and consistent. This same computer/motherboard has a previous install (installer TC1) on it, but on an IDE HD put into this system (installed by a previous MB), which has been running for weeks rock solid -- it also runs rock solid in this compter/mb combination. This current computer/mb also runs Win2K on a partition on the same SATA hd without problems. It will also do the automatic reboot if I just let this new install sit at the "welcome" screen. I have timed it and find it takes 52 seconds each time from the appearance of this welcome screen until it reboots. This was done several times with exact consistency. (Some sort of timer involved?) Otherwise, installer did a good job up to this point. The previous TC1 version of the installer ended with error in install of base system each time I tried it, hence used the latest cvs to try. The previous TC1 version worked OK on the previous motherboard (which gave me the transplanted hd installation).
