In an effort to clear up some terminal emulation problems, I reinstalled 
FreeBSD 2.1.6-Release right over the top of my other install.

This version of FreeBSD will not recognize tcsh!  My other one did.  It 
doesn't give it to me as an option with adduser.  Neither does it accept 
the change in chsh.  It was sitting on my system in /usr/local/bin.  I 
downloaded the port and reinstalled and it still won't recognize it.  
Keeps saying it's a "non-standard shell"!

Another curiosity.

When I log into the system now is says:

FreeBSD ?.?.?

As if it doesn't know what version it is.

I double checked the setup screen and it's set to go snatch 2.1.6-Release 
from the primary FTP site at Walnut Creek.

What gives?
