Excuse my newbieness, but why should I have sh for root?  So that if
when screw over my installation again I still have a shell for single
user mode and (hopefully) fix things?  Or does base shell mean
something else?

My US$.019: I grew up on Bourne-style shells, I'm used to interactive
command-line editting.  So it was key for my learning FreeBSD to use
bash.  I don't need colour, never did.
