I don't remember if this was with -stable or -current, but on a couple of occasions, I've had the following problems: at boot, sysinstall will attempt to load various kernel modules to support various devices. When I have sysinstall restart, it will attempt to load the modules again, resulting in a seemingly endless series of dialogs informing me that the module in question has already been loaded. It may be worth tracking that down and silencing it in the second pass, since you're attacking sysinstall in that general manner. (Of course, it's possible that was long since fixed...)
