Hi,

I am thinking of getting a FreeBSD dedicated server
that I will only have ssh access to.  What is the
normal procedure of keeping up to date with kernel
changes when you do not have console access? 

Is it possible to drop into single user mode remotely?
Or is single user mode not necessary for make
installkernel and the like? Does:

buildworld / buildkernel / installkernel
reboot then 
installworld / mergemaster 

work while connected through ssh?

Thank you in advance.

Mark
