For a while I thought it was live installs never getting it right, but
then I saw one or two where it did work.

No, we're not talking about the bash prompt on tty2, but there's an
actual *login prompt* on like tty6 or something. So far as I and the OP
knows, there is no account with a known password for you log in as, and
you have the root prompt on tty2, so the existence of the login prompt
seems a bit odd.
