One other possibility is that the documented procedure was not followed
and a new userland is being run on an old kernel. Since fairly recently,
/bin/sh has used fcntl(F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC) which is not in 9.1-RELEASE
although it has been in head for the better part of a year. Note that
fdlopen() (possibly used by PAM) has depended on F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC for
longer.

You can try booting the new kernel manually or getting a /bin/sh binary
from before svn r250267 from somewhere.
