There is absolutely no reason to change root's shell.
There is even no reason at all to work as root.
Use sudo, or even su -m, or execute bash after you became root.
Even if you use the bash-static package, bash gets installed into
/usr/local/bin (IIRC) and you may not have /usr while being in single
user mode.

You might consider leaving root untouched...
