Solved Can't login as root

[doc1623]

Well I really kinda messed it up. I really need to do better on the recovery front. Anyway,



I was trying to install www/uzbl browser. I guess it upgraded a library. Now I get

Shared object "libncursesw.so.5.9" not found, required by "zsh"

When I try to login. I understand I made a mistake not leaving root on the sh(1) shell. How can I recover. I tried to log in as single user but it won't let me make changes to the default shell like with chsh.

says:

pw_temp (): Read only file system.

/ is mounted as read-only in single user mode.
You can remount it writable like this:
mount -u -o rw /

Thank you leebrown66 worked. I'm going to try reinstalling shells/zsh now.
