hello everyone..

call it beginner's bad luck but i made a booboo last night.  i changed
the default shell for root to tcsh instead of csh.  i *thought* i had
tcsh installed on my machine but unfortunately..  it is not.  so now
when i try to log in as root, it says: "/bin/tcsh does not exist" hence
i can't login.  after that message, i'm faced with the login prompt
again.  i tried using one of my other accounts and changing it to
superuser but i get the same error and can't change to superuser.

do i need to re-install freebsd?  my version is freebsd 2.2.5

thanks

Metin
