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.
