I prefer the BASH shell, so I immediately changed my shell (root) to BASH. I presumed that it was in /bin/bash and already installed, BUT it wasn't. Now I can't login as root, I just get kicked back to the login prompt, and I can't 'su' to root because the groups aren't setup right! How can I get in without reinstalling? My friend suggested I boot a kernel from the floppy, but how can I get one? I only have the boot floppy and no 'emergency floppy'. Any help would be appreciated, Marco To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
