This will get you to single user but the reboot step is absolutly critical if you want you're system to complete the installworld every time. To do an installworld safely, you must be running a new kernel because the newly installed binaries may contain code that uses new kernel features. This won't happen every time, but it has happened in the past and UPDATING is generally supposed to be conservative. If we really need to support people who don't know what to do in single user mode, the correct thing is to add instructions to do: fsck -p mount -a after the reboot into single user mode. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
