Well, I just installed an up-to-the-minute kernel on one of my other 
machines and gave it a try.  No change, it still  hangs after the 'halt' 
command and waits for expect() to time-out.  I have verified, and this 
kernel uses kern/sys_select.c rev 1.35

So either I'm having a different problem, or sys_select is still not 
quite completely fixed.  :)

during the installation of base and comp sets ...
