Redefine the template that numbers chapters. This will do what you want:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                version="1.0">

<xsl:import href="../html/docbook.xsl"/>

<xsl:template match="chapter" mode="label.content">
  <xsl:param name="punct">.</xsl:param>
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="@label">
      <xsl:value-of select="@label"/>
      <xsl:value-of select="$punct"/>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:when test="$chapter.autolabel != 0">
      <xsl:number from="book|part" count="chapter" format="1" level="any"/>
      <xsl:value-of select="$punct"/>
    </xsl:when>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

                                        Be seeing you,
