I've upgraded many servers remotely without ever booting into single user mode...

The steps I do are as follows:

1) cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile (from /usr/src/cvsup)
2) make buildworld (from /usr/src)
3) make installworld (from /usr/src)
4) modify my kernel (from /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/KERNEL NAME)
5) make buildkerenel (from /usr/src)
6) make installkernel (from /usr/src)
7) reboot
8) run mergemaster

I've done it this way for the past 3 years and it has never failed me yet.

Peter, no he didn't.  He did the basic steps in the right order.
read carefully:
http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html

The only thing I can see he missed is in section 21.4.8 Reboot into Single
User Mode.
Did single user mode help you?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Elsner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Vice President Of Customer Service (And System Administrator) 1835 S.

I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she's
too young to have logged on yet. Here's what I worry about. I worry
that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say "Daddy, where
were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?"
-- Mike Godwin

Unix IS user friendly... It's just selective about who its friends are.
System Administration - It's a dirty job, but somebody said I had to do it.
If you receive something that says 'Send this to everyone you know,
pretend you don't know me.

Standard $500/message proofreading fee applies for UCE.
