Still poking at this.

I booted in single-user mode. That works.

I did `mount -a` and then tried to change root's password.

It won't. It takes new one and confirmation and then says:

Couldn't generate salt.
Unable to change auth token: Error in service module.

Google gives nothing useful for this, but it certainly looks like
others have had similar issues.

I tried `vipw`...

vi: warning: TERM is not set
vi: unknown: unknown terminal type
vipw: /usr/bin/vi: Undefined error: 0
vipw: /etc/master.passwd: unchanged

So, I can't run vi. I exported TERM=vt100 and that works, but I still
can't reset passwords.
