This is a known bug and addressed in the latest ERRATA.TXT to be found
at the FreeBSD mirrors in the 2.2.2-RELEASE directory.

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, get it from the FreeBSD FTP site using this URL:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/etc/login.conf
instead. Simply cd to /etc and then run fetch(1) with the provided URL.
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.

Signatures like that make me answer questions on the FreeBSD mailing lists!
