I was seeing something similar.  I'd get through the install up through the
installation's request to reboot, it would reboot from the hard disk, and run
fine for some arbitrary amount of time (typically a small number of minutes)
and then reboot spontaneously.  I initially thought I was having hardware
problems which were causing this, but the machine is now running fine on a
Woody installation dist-upgraded to Sid.

BTW, those reboots were occurring with installer Beta2 and Beta3.
