I think I have the same problem at beta1. The server starts and afte a while the screen switches to a resolution of 1024x768. I can switch to tty1, but there is not login. There is nothing. I can type letters and I see them, but there is no shell or anything else. And the network seems to be up at that point, but ssh is not working.
I can hit ESC at grub und bott with init=/bin/bash and I figured out that all my LVM volumes were missing. Does somebody else have the black screen and using LVM? If vgscan and vgchange -ay, it takes minutes till the cursor comes back. And sometimes not all of the LVs are found, so I have to use lvchange on single LVs. So my guess is the LVM is broken. But why is the screen black then? Is this a seperate bug or does it depend on it? I hope I understood the original bug correctly. This shall not be a miss using bug report from my side.
