This has become so what canonized however... there is no problem in 
running your chosen shell. If you boot single user it will ask you for a 
shell to use. Just use /bin/sh if the volume containing your chosen shell 
isn't mounted.

Take appropriate steps to configure your login scripts accordingly if they 
are doing anything important that is dependent on the shell.
