it is explained in that 'Getting Started' page that dillo pops out for

Before going through the trouble of adding a potentially broken passwd file to your backup, first try editing /etc/passwd and then log out.  In  default DSL you should automatically get logged back in, and your new shell should be in play.  This is assuming that it is user 'dsl' who is getting the custom shell.  I wouldn't recommend changing root's shell to a "basic basic" one you've made yourself unless you are an extremely awesome programmer =o)
