The proper version number is FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE.  You should consider
returning this CD and picking up 2.1.6 after it comes out.

Hm, I see a /usr/lib/libgcc.so.261.0.  If you're missing it for some
reason you can grab mine:

ftp://gdi.uoregon.edu/pub/libgcc.so.261.0.gz

Just leave the machine on Friday night, or grab the command line from
/etc/weekly.

I'm not familiar with Bash, but since it's based on sh I would say it's
picking up the .profile in /root and ignoring your .bashrc.  The bash man
page should show which file(s) it wants.

I would HIGHLY recommend changing root back to sh; you won't be able to
log in if your /usr partition disappears, while a static version of sh is
in /bin.  You should use su instead of logging in as root.
