	Sorry to hijack the thread. My box is running 5.2, and I'd like to 
upgrade it to 5.2.1. Problem is that the server is in a colo so I only 
have SSH access to it; because of this I can't drop into single user 
mode.

	So far I grabbed the stable sup file, changed it to RELENG_5_2. After 
that I ran
# make -j4 buildworld
# make -j4 buildkernel

	But I'm not sure how to continue since I don't have single user mode. 
Anyone have any pointers, as the handbook doesn't say what to do in 
this case.
