Subject: Sys install of 3.18.2-x86 in VirtualBox - Filesystem is not Mounted

I tried installing 3.18.2-x86 in a VirtualBox (7.0.8 on Win host) VM.  
The VM was created with all the default settings.  The install goes 
smoothly: boot from iso, login as root, run setup-alpine, accepted all 
defaults but specified a "sys" install to the "sda" drive, which also 
appears to go smoothly with filesystem creation.  However, upon reboot 
and logging back in as root, the /dev/sda3 filesystem is not mounted at 
/.  Instead / is still mounted as tmpfs.  Is there some trick to get 
/dev/sda3 correctly mounted after initial install of a "sys" filesystem 
setup?

Doh!  ... sorry, it seems to be a highly technical process of unmounting 
the CD before rebooting ... :-o
