X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 16 Dec 2004 04:37:02 -0000 Hi all I'm using FreeBSD 4.[89] for a few years. So far I upgraded my release to security branch by following the instructions in /usr/src/Makefile and after finished, my box is running fine. Only one thing that I ignored - rebooting in single mode but because I am not at the box's console. Could anyone clarify me why we have to (according to comment in /usr/src/Makefile) reboot in single mode ? Is it necessary ? TIA, pjn
