You can edit /etc/passwd and change roots default shell from /bin/sh to 
/bin/bash if you want to make the change permanent. For a one-time change 
you can always just switch the shell by running "exec bash".

I personally prefer the second option because that way shell scripts run as 
root will run under dash which is more restricted by simply having fewer 
features than bash and thus is somewhat more secure.
