This is a file I found at the FreeBSD ftp site. Hope this is helpful for
others having the same problem as I've seen this question many times.

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.
o sysconfig scrambles rc.conf if run again.
Fix: Get updated /usr/src from RELENG_2_2 branch and build
/usr/src/release/sysinstall, copying the new binary to /stand.
If you do not have enough space for src then you could also
use the boot/fixit floppy combo from a later 2.2-YYMMDD-RELENG
release to simply mount your root partition (using the Fixit
option) and copy /stand/sysinstall from the floppy to /stand on
your root fs.
Regards,
Ajith.
