Hi there,

I have installed Alpine in Oracle Virtualbox. After that I have run
setup-alpine and entered the following values (among others):
sda; sys;
So partitions are created.

Then I entered "reboot", but all my settings got lost, also root forgot my
provided password. I expected Alpine to save all my settings, but it did
not.
I found the tool "lbu", but there the manual says:
"All your modifications have already been directly written to your HDD." 

So what's wrong with it?

i guess you are still booting from the iso image.
remove it from the VM or change the boot order.

Or hit F12 in the start and choose hard disk, usually choice #1
If something is still not working you can boot from the live and chroot into the mounted hd partition.
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
chroot /mnt

then modify your installation
