What is the normal procedure of keeping up to date with kernel changes when you do not have console access? Is it possible to drop into single user mode remotely? Or is single user mode not necessary for make installkernel and the like? Does: buildworld / buildkernel / installkernel reboot then installworld / mergemaster work while connected through ssh?
