This sounds like the VM was just rebooted after installation.  The boot
order is kept from the time you say Run Once until the VM is shutdown
completely.  A reboot keeps it the same.

One option to solve this is to set the HD as the first boot device and
the CDRom as the second.  Then, when it boots the first time, since
there is nothing installed, it will boot from CD, then on reboot, it
will boot from HD.  

You could also detach the cd from the VM before rebooting.
