No - you ought to be able to su to root still. I checked this before the
original answer because, although I wasn't recommending your directory
moves, just telling you how to avoid linking individual binaries and
files by doing the whole directory, I didn't even want to do that if I
thought it would cause a prob like this.

If you can boot onto a FreeBSD CDROM it'd be easy to fix this. Can you?

Peter.
