something along the lines of
export PS1="\\w \$ "
is your friend. the excape-sequence "\w" produces the current working
directory if I am not mistaken.
Check "man bash" for more details (search for PS1).
Also, check root's .bashrc, most likely the prompt variable is defined here.
on my Hamm-Systems .bashrc sources .bash_profile.
So long,
Stephan
