Yea it's a known bug which has been fixed some time ago.

Do the following:

1) Boot the CD
2) Login as root
3) Edit /etc/ttys and remove the ttyv1 entry
4) kill -1 1
5) Logout and relogin as installer

Generally I wouldn't recommend to take the release ISO. 2.2 snapshot is 
better as it has important bug fixes:
