If something horrible happens and /usr can't be mounted, you're not likely to make it to multi-user mode.

As shipped, "toor" has a shell of /bin/sh, as FreeBSD doesn't have bash in the base system. -- Matthew Hunt <mph@astro.caltech.edu> * Inertia is a property http://www.pobox.com/~mph/ * of matter.
