No such luck, but thanks for the suggestion. su -m, su -c, etc. all
complain that there is no such file as "usr/pkg/bin/bash" which, of
course, I already know. toor is nonfunctional, apparently by default,
so that option is not available.
This is becoming vexatious. If "sudo" was present by default, the
problem would be readily solvable. I think I saw that on the ftp
server, so I'll have to get that installed.
I think that this point I'm going to have to kill in the hard way, boot
into single user mode and fix it from there. I hope I can boot into
single user mode, that is.
