hmm,
you may mount the filesystem from another os or live system and untar the sets
you‘ve used for installation again over it. This should give you at least a
working base system back from where you may reinstall

Yes, that works

Perhaps also "export TERM=cons25" would help.
I think that last one was the one that got me past having to
learn a bit of ed for the first time in probably thirty years.
vipw worked fine once

I'm not claiming this will work, just looking for feedback.

If you actually bricked your root account: boot single user and chsh to
/bin/sh or /bin/csh.
I always keep /bin/sh as my root shell and do
if [ -x /usr/pkg/bin/tcsh ]; then
exec /usr/pkg/bin/tcsh
fi
in /root/.profile. I know why, and now you do too...

There's a long back-story to this event, but it's not important.
Suffice to say that I removed all the packages from my system,
including the shell I like at /usr/pkg/bin/tcsh, and now all my
attempts to login are rejected because the shell cannot be
found.
Is there a work-around?
