I installed 2.2.2 from the FTP site and have had a couple of problems.  I
don't think I am doing anything wrong.  

Problem #1.  The Install program does not update rc.conf.  You go through
the post install menu and fill out all the stuff, exit install, reboot and
it comes up with a virgin rc.conf file.  No interface settings, no network
configurations, etc.  Even /etc/hosts was not updated.  I tried to rerun
/stand/sysinstall to reanswer the questions and it prompted me differently
(like it was reading the entire line from the file, just not the answer.
Thus for hostname, the field contained:

myname.my.domain        #you must change this

(or what ever was in rc.conf).  I cleared the entire field and entered my
information.  When it was said and done, /etc/hosts has been updated,
/etc/hosts resolv.conf had been updated, but rc.conf was still virgin.

Finally I updated it by hand and things work now, but . . .

Second problem, when I login as root I get a message about a missing
login_class: root.  I read about the class stuff in the man pages, but a
fresh install shouldn't require me to go put in files for the base accounts.

Did I do something wrong or is the install for 2.2.2 from ftp.freebsd.org
making oopses?

As of now, I only have to deal with this login problem because I have the
machine configured the way I want it, but . . .
