What does it mean you disconnected? Did you closed the SSH session? You could try to reboot to get back the initial setup.

closed ssh session and tried rebooting, this appears still

Did you set the AUTO_SETUP_AUTOMATED=1 flag? If so it is expected. Wait for it to finish. You can monitor it via htop.

Did you configured auto setup?

I ran autosetup the day before, and it appears to be finished

Hmm, obviously it did not finish. Can you check htop whether some dietpi-login process is running and probably some sub process?

You can kill the dietpi-login process via htop as well and restart the setup via exec bash on SSH.
