Just change back the shell to the standard dialog shell,
which is the C shell /bin/csh. If you intendedly want to
use a different shell when working as root, consider using
the toor account and change the shell of toor. Do not change
the shell of root.

Login as any user. Then:

	% su root
	Password:
	# chsh
	... change back to csh ...
	# exit
	% exit

Now you can login as root again.

Note that you missed the leading / in the BASH name, as
the login message states:

> login:  usr/local/bin/bash:  No such file or directory
         ^

The correct path is /usr/local/bin/bash. And you can use
this path for toor, no problem at all.
