echo "PATH=/sbin:$PATH" >> ~/.profile
^ should work.
As for your second question, look at the file /etc/profile.d/prompt.sh and google bash PS1.

Read man bash, section INVOCATION:
* bashrc is not sourced for interactive login shells, only for non-login shells
* profile is source for interfactive login shells
As everything inherits from login shells, the place for $PATH setting is in a profile file (/etc/profile, /etc/bash_profile or ~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile)
Then some distributions do not follow this, they source .bashrc within .profile but it's not a general rule.

Why I use debian on all my machines..
When you open a terminal, it has inherited the variable PATH from the login shell.

Put this in bashrc and open a terminal, open another one within this one.
Look at your PATH, it contains two times /sbin

Sorry, I was talking in general on unix/linux machines.
I don't know for the device. BUt you can can open a new tab.

so what should I do next?
ps: I have installed bash2, and it always shows full path before the prompt, this is really annoying when the path is very long, how can I make only the last dir is shown like a normal shell always does?
