As for me, I've done it only once without booting into single user mode, 
but that time I could kill the whole system. It didn't boot any more. 
Even not in single user mode. It was an amd64 machine, and I had stopped 
almost everything, (including crond, syslogd, ..), before I made 
installworld and it failed. I don't know why. I wanted to upgrade from 
5.3-RELEASE to 5-STABLE.

Cheers,

Gábor
