But meanwhile, I figured out another way. After booting the new kernel to single user and making sure it worked, I re-booted into multiuser mode with kernel.old, then did 'shutdown now', which dropped me into single-user mode with all volumes mounted. From there one everything ran smooth as silk and I am now a proud administrator of shiny new 4.5-RELEASE-p1 system! > > - copy /usr/src to non-vinum volume and run installworld from > > there.

Yep, that would have been bad idea indeed. In addition to what you mention, some parts of the world to be installed would still have been on (unmounted) vinum volume, so the process would have left me with partially installed world!
