I'm trying to minimize the amount that has to be done in single-user mode (I don't have console access; I have to trust my hosting company's tech support for that part). Is there any serious reason that mergemaster needs to be run in single-user mode? Ideally, I'm trying to get something that needs no operator intervention during single-user mode. Currently, if mergemaster can be run just before booting into single-user mode, the operator needs to type one command ("upgrade", a shell script in /root/bin which runs the fsck, mount, swapon, cd, make installworld, and fastboot commands).
