Root Login Fails on OpenBSD



Hi
    ts me again. I had another question/situation for you. the other day i installed the latest OpenBSD 2.8 on my server. I did a ftp install @ from a cybercafe here in town(arizona (tempe to be exact)) thx to some friends there. anywas i just did the base install set all the parameters and when it was finished i just shut it off (obeying all the messeges) to get out of their hair so nobody would get in trouble. anywas i got home later that night and started playing with it booted up ok logind as root and stated searching for my faviorte shell "Bash" to make it my default shell (for usr root). I then relized that it was not installed and (brainfart) realized that i had the 2.7 install cd's handy. so i mounted the cd in /mnt and proceded to do a
$pkg_add Bash2.3.4 (whatever version). It installed without any errors then i did a
$chsh  and changed my default shell to /usr/local/bin/bash (just like normal). I also edited the /etc/shells file and added /usr/local/bin/bash there also..
 
(this is where the problem starts)
 
I then loged out to relogin with the new bash shell. After typing in the correct login and password it gave me this.....
 
/usr/libexec/ld.so: -Bash: libtermcap.so.7.1: No Such File or Directory.
 
 
then it spits back a login prompt...
and willnot let me login.... at all
 
and i failed to make another user.
 
do you have any suggestions on how i can get logedin as root????  and take control of my system again.. Without having to reinstall (I currentley don't have broadband here and i don't want to reask the local cyber cafe if i could come back again.. (thede say no)
 
pls respond promptley im locked out of my own server..
 
 
Thx Thxix
 
p.s. if you answered my e-mail yesterday i tryed looking at the dmesg for sd* and saw nothing there  wounder if m using the wrong kernel or do i have to recompile it?
assuming i can get re loginedin.... thx
