It looks like pw(8) is broken on head, specifically the 'usermod'
command.

The password for the 'freebsd' user is set as a result of 'useradd',
which includes '-w yes', forcing the password to equal the account name.
For the root user, which already exists, the password is set to 'root'
by using 'usermod' with '-w yes'.

On an unaltered RPI2 image (I suspect this is not related to arm alone),
examining master.passwd shows the problem with the root user:

 root:*:0:0::0:0:Charlie &:/root:/bin/csh

For the 'freebsd' user, I see what I expect to see:

 freebsd:[hash]:1001:1001::0:0:FreeBSD User:/home/freebsd:/bin/csh

Then, after using the 'usermod' command on the 'freebsd' user within the
mounted image, I see this:

 root at releng2:/ # /usr/sbin/pw -R /mnt usermod freebsd -w yes
 root at releng2:/ # grep ^freebsd /mnt/etc/master.passwd 
 freebsd:*:1001:1001::0:0:FreeBSD User:/home/freebsd:/bin/csh

So, something is definitely wrong with 'usermod' in head.
