Reference ERRATA.TXT on the 2.2.2 CD:

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.
