for some reason the package you installed was linked against libc 3.0
instead of libc 2.2, which means the package was built on a 2.2-GAMMA box
or a "fixed" 2.1.7 box.  Make sure you install the 2.1.x package (in
ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/packages-2.1.7/shells/) instead of the
'-current' package. 

I'll reiterate that you can fix this by putting '-s' on teh boot: prompt,
which will get you single user mode and the sh shell.  Copy
/usr/lib/libc.so.2.2 to libc.so.3.0, type 'exit' and you should be up and
running again.

That's where that came from!  I'm going to get another message from your
autoresponder. Could you please disable it or use a different email
address?
