.I have not yet felt adventurous enough to symlink /bin/sh to /bin/bash.

@fanoush, if start times are a concern leaving roots shell as sh should be ok. Linux can handle the split.

Yeah... deleting /bin/sh and /bin/ash after I put bash in there was a nice way of requiring a reflash...
Can't say I wasn't warned

To make bash the default shell, edit /etc/passwd and replace /bin/sh by /bin/bash for users 'user' and 'root'.
If you want to go a step farther, symlink /bin/sh and /bin/ash to /bin/bash. This may or may not break your tablet, I haven't tried this yet.
I've made a package of bash 3.2. Unlike other instances of bash floating around, this one is compatible with busybox and can be used as the default shell without sending your tablet into an infinite reboot cycle.
To make bash the default, edit /etc/passwd and replace /bin/sh with /bin/bash for users 'user' and 'root'. I have not yet felt adventurous enough to symlink /bin/sh to /bin/bash.

Note: install at your risk. Making bash the default shell may break your tablet, requiring a reflash. It works on my N810 with OS2008, but that's only a sample size of one.
