The file /etc/freebsd-update.conf should contain the line Components src world kernel if you want to make sure the source is properly updated, along with the world and kernel (GENERIC). > >> Step 5: reboot > > > > Attention: Into single-user mode. > > Not possible since the system is located over 100 miles away. > Everything has to be done via remote console. Does this mean "SSH only" or do you have a _real_ console transmission by which you can access the system _prior_ to the OS providing the SSH access?
