Yes, I've seen that on a -current from a couple of days ago. I couldn't 
log in as root on a fresh install. I couldn't login on any account with no 
password. The message was odd too as it was reporting "foo" as the 
terminal name instead of ttyE0 or console.

I found that running postinstall fixed it though.

I also saw that MAKEDEV failed on bio during installation, so this perhaps 
aborted the install.
