Some times ago it worked to something like : Reboot it to single user mode. / is now mounted read-only. You can use tunefs to enable soft updates on it. Now type "reboot". It should come up with soft updates still enabled. If you exit the shell and go multi-user without rebooting, it comes up with soft updates still disabled.
