The document you reference does not have that info. If you have a remote (serial) console set up, then that document works just fine. If you don't have that, then I'm not sure that upgrade is possible[1] - sshd was one of the first daemons to fail to start when I did my upgrade so you'd be hard pressed to continue after the first reboot. -- patrick [1] well, haven't tried it, but you'd probably have to scp an sshd compiled on 5.x and I'm not sure what else before booting the 5.x kernel.
