Anyone have any idea where to start and troubleshoot this? FreeBSD doesn't even come with bash installed by default, so you need to look at your system's unique local configuration. Single-user mode won't give you a shell directly -- it prompts you for what shell you want to run -- so it doesn't sound like that either. Keep a closer eye on the console as you are booting, and post a more detailed description of what the system is telling you, and maybe we'll have a clearer idea of what to tell you. Good luck.
