I changed my root shell to pdksh with no ill-effects. I just copied it from /usr/local/bin to /bin and added it to /etc/shells. Then vipw. pdksh is statically linked and I don't know if bash is. If it's not you wont be able to use it in single user mode but you can always use /bin/sh instead. Another option is to use the toor account rather than messing around with root. I think programming with csh is deprecated nowadays - a shell guru could tell you if that's true.
