This didn't change. What happens when you type "shutdown now" at a root
prompt?

You don't need to go to single user mode to upgrade unless you have a
lot of other users logging into your system. At worst, you can do 'make
buildworld' multi-user, then switch to single user and do 'make
installworld' which only takes a few minutes. The combination of make
buildworld and make installworld do everything that 'make world' does.
Good luck,
Doug
