This will remount it read/write. Then run vi or whatever on /etc/passwd and change it. Bash (at least the packages/ports version) installs into /usr/local/bin/bash. (note in order to access vi, other editors, etc, you MAY have to mount /usr, if you installed it as a separate partition, so just type "mount /usr").
