Don't change root's shell.
It's set to a static shell (/bin/ksh these days) for a reason.
That being said, you could try booting bsd.rd (you did install that,
right ?) and fix your issue from the shell it provides. Otherwise,
boot from some install medium (CD/floppy/network/whathaveyou) and go
from there.
And why would you change to bash ? For root !? ksh provides most of
what bash has. And if you really really really need bash for all the
bashisms, dont do that stuff as root.
Cheers,
