I can only explain this if you are in fact _not_ using the netinst CD but 
are using the businesscard CD (or floppies or netboot) instead.

If you use the netinst CD in a default installation, there will be no 
question about mirror configuration and no configuration of APT before 
the reboot.

If you really do see this with the netinst CD, please paste the exact URL 
of the image you are using and attach the syslog of the 1st stage 
installation because that would be a major bug.
(However, I won't believe it before I've seen it reproduced.)
