Single user for make installworld; buildworld is OK if you're multi-user. 2 choices to get /usr mounted boot -s at the loader then mount -a (may need to 'mount -rw /' first, can't say I have) that'll work. Personally I go for booting multiuser with the new kernel, then issuing 'shutdown now' to stop all daemons. 2 advantages to this are: 1 = you get to see if your system will go multi-user with the new kernel. 2 = all your disks get mounted for you. -- Self Test for Paranoia: You know you have it when you can't think of anything that's your own fault.
