If you are connected to the internet, install the bash port:

"cd /usr/ports/shells/bash2"
"make install"

Then "chpass" and change your shell to /usr/local/bin/bash.  Log out
and log back in.  It's a good idea to have at least two logins active
so that if you mistype the shell path you can correct it with the one
which is still logged on.  Otherwise you'll have to boot into single
user mode to fix it.
