Reference ERRATA.TXT on the 2.2.2 CD:
Last minute errata:
-------------------
o login as root produces "login_getclass: unknown class 'root'" on system
console.
Fix: If you have the source distribution installed, simply
cp /usr/src/etc/login.conf /etc
otherwise, mount the 2nd CDROM and copy it from the live filesystem
(cp /cdrom/usr/src/etc/login.conf /etc) instead.
