You'll have to bootup in single shell, at bootup use -s flag to go into single shell, if the file system is readonly, you'll have to remount the filesystem so it will get normal for reading and writing data when you have the filesys normal, type: chfn root and edit the shell line, in my case I let the root have bash shell, so the line I put for root was: Shell: /usr/local/bin/bash try this, and reastart the system On Wed, 18 Dec 1996, Barry Soben wrote: > I changed the shell on my root account from csh to tcsh..
