I don't want to persuade you to something that is not officially supported, but I have never booted into single user mode while upgrading my FreeBSD boxes and I have never experienced any problems because of this. Just try to skip the reboot step and go ahead. It works(tm) for me this way. If you are paranoid, try to stop all running services except the ssh deamon. -- Best regards, Daniel mailto:danger@FreeBSD.org
