It's perfectly safe to do 'make buildworld' in multiuser mode, but you have todo 'make installworld' in single user mode booting your newly compiled kernel. Regarding the kernel you can do both 'make buildkernel' and 'make installkernel' (or directly 'make kernel') in multiuser mode. -- Davide Petilli - "k3rn31" Potenza, Italy FreeBSD, Mac OSX, GNU/Debian.
