Just using : 'shutdown now' to get to single user mode and doing the installworld : before a reboot may leave you with a broken kernel, and going back to : an older kernel may not work in the brave new world. Yes. There was a point in the upgrade sequence when you needed the new kernel to run the binaries used to install the new binaries, but I think that we save them off now so that isn't strictly necessary.
