Anyone,
I had just changed my shell (to bash) which I assumed (yes I know) was 
there because I had added it during the initial installation. My son 
interrupted me, a movie caught my eye, an hour or so latter BSD had 
autologged me out. Needless to say bash wasn't were it was suppose to be 
in /usr/bin ( because I hadn't had time to check it before I was logged 
out). Now when I try to log in as root with the right password BSD tells 
me that bash isn't in /usr/bin and loops me back to the login prompt. I 
tried booting single user mode but that only allows me to check the 
filesystem and look around (ro), so I can't change anything.

No, I don't have a fixit disk or emergency boot disk (bad boy, get in the 
corner and don't come out until you repent). I swear if somebody can get 
me back in I'll correct the oversite immediately and never let this happen 
again. If you haven't guessed - I new to FreeBSD.
