Okay, I have done a couple of things:
1. I appended to the base-passwd recipe and added my own patch that would patch
the passwd file to have root use a bash shell. I have verified that this is
the case when I login via echo $0. It tells me that root's shell is bash.
2. I have appended to the base-files recipe and added a do_install_append()
function to my bbappend file that copies the dot.bashrc to /home/root/.bashrc.
I have verified that this is taking place and the .bashrc file is actually in
/home/root.
3. I ran 'strace -f bash' after logging in and /home/root/.bashrc is sourced (I
saw it in the output and my aliases were available).
However, upon first login, it appears that /home/root/.bashrc is NOT sourced by
bash. How can I get bash to source that file when I login at a console?
There are 2 solutions for this: rename your .bashrc in .profile, or copy
/etc/skel/.profile in /root/.profile
.bashrc is sourced only for non-login shells. For console login shells
only .profile (or .bash_profile or .bash_login) is sourced.

Thanks for the help!

You can check the same with "strace -f bash"
You can see the files being loaded, as there is a rc file loading sequence
exists for bash.

Subject: [yocto] .bashrc not being used by root account
I have modified the .bashrc file for the system, however the root account does
not seem to use it by default. What am I missing? I would rather not have to
source the .bashrc file every time I login as root.
Try `echo $0` to see the shell you're in. By default you should be in
`sh`, which does not source .bashrc.
You can execute `bash` after login, or change the login shell of 'root'.
