Shell Settings
Clarification: There are two default shell settings.
One is the Unix setting and can be changed with chsh -s.
The other is the Terminal.app-specific setting, and can be changed in Terminal preferences.
You can set your Terminal default shell command to /bin/bash -l in the Terminal app.
-l tells Bash to read startup files. Even if you don't have any user-specific startup files, there are system-wide startup files that will, among other things, set the prompt to the one you're familiar with.
If you've properly set your Unix default shell, you should be able to select Default login shell in Terminal preferences and this will happen automatically.
