Something seems to have gone very wrong with your install - I haven't done a text install lately so there may be something different in the format, but during the install, there has to be a specific point where one is prompted to choose and enter a root password. If you never got to that point, the install somehow didn't ever finish. How much RAM and CPU are in the machine you tried to install on?
