I've gotten Bash up and running on my 3b2, but the only problem I
found, and a major one for me, is that I couldn't get it to work as my
login shell.  I kept getting a 'sig access error' which told me lots.

Instead of bash, I am now using tcsh, which i was able to ftp the
binaries for from tesla.ee.cornell.edu, or (so I am told) from
tut.cis.ohio-state.edu, or possibly cheops.cis.ohio-state.edu.  I
forget which of the two sites is supposed to have it available.

I'm very happy with tcsh, and after doing mcs -d tcsh, it wieghs in at
around 230k or so.  which is comparable with bash.
