Yup on 4 conditions: 1. you have serial console access to all machines. 2. you've tested that kernel works. 3. backed up the previous kernel 4. have not raised securelevel to 1 and have added the proper rc.confvalues and got the appropriate MAC labels handy. If you have messed up with securelevel you can either setup loader.conf to boot the kernel you want or reboot with securelevel disabled and change the kernel then. I'd rather start experimenting with a test machine. MAC sometimes may shut off entire machine from internet, depending on policies defined.
