I know there has been some paranoia on this list about doing the
updates in single user mode, but I've never had any problem doing
either a "make world" or a "make installworld" with the system in
its normal operating mode.

So, I'd recommend you do "make buildworld >& Make.out &" in normal
run mode.  Examine the output file for warnings or crashes.  If it
looks ok, then run "make installworld".  I doubt your users will
even notice.
