I just tested the DVD install (again) in a KVM. Did not see this...

...or this. The install completed without errors and firstboot appeared
on reboot. I don't know what went wrong for you. Can you check the
version of the firstboot package, and see if upstart-sysvinit or
systemd-sysvinit is installed? Are you sure it's Beta RC3 you're
testing, you didn't accidentally download an earlier image?
