I recall seeing such a behaviour under FreeBSD-3.3-R. I had just=20
installed such a system **without** first configuring networking, and=20
I was welcomed by an "Amnesiac" login.

AFAIR, the "Amnesiac mode" faded away as soon as I specified hostname=20
and/or network configuration.=20

You may wish to check your hostname and network config files.
