Hello Sereno,

If such accidents happen, you can boot into single user mode, where you 
will be prompted to specify the shell. Here, you can use the static 
versions, located in /rescue:

[gabor at server ~]$ file /rescue/sh
/rescue/sh: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (FreeBSD), 
statically linked, stripped
[gabor at server ~]$ file /rescue/csh
/rescue/csh: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (FreeBSD), 
statically linked, stripped
[gabor at server ~]$ file /rescue/tcsh
/rescue/tcsh: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 
(FreeBSD), statically linked, stripped

Cheers,
