so it seems changed root login's shell to /usr/bin/bash which doesn't

mistake.
Boot into single user mode, then vipw the password file and change it
back.
Just as a note of warning, if you have any issues with your ports or
libraries, you have a high probability of having issues with bash in the
future as a shell.
For example, I used to set my root shell to bash, before I had an issue
with some missing libraries after an upgrade--which caused a great deal
of grief, in particular when I went into safe mode as it couldn't load
the shell properly. From then on I have used csh as the default shell,
and then switch to bash when needed.
