Cassandra: specify an initial token manually or wait for an existing bootstrap operation to finish

Am trying to bring up a small cassandra cluster with 3 nodes in it. The cluster will have one seed node. The seed node is bought up first. Once its up, I bring up both the other two nodes "AT THE SAME TIME". What I see is only one node gets added to the cluster. I get the following exception on the other node. 

ERROR [main] 2013-03-20 11:44:57,146 CassandraDaemon.java (line 387) Exception encountered during startup
java.lang.RuntimeException: Every node is a bootstrap source! **Please specify an initial token manually or wait for an existing bootstrap operation to finish.**

Does cassandra (the seed node) have a problem in handling simultaneous bootstrapping from multiple nodes? Is that a limitation? If so, any way of getting over it?

Have you specify initial token values in each node? If not set their values, you can refer this Cassandra Visual Ring
