=============

I manage a remote FreeBSD server, a single-user reboot is not at all practical.  So my 
question is: how important, and for what reason, is the urging to go into single-user 
mode?  On my remote server, I can assure that I am the only person logged in, I just 
cannot get into single-user mode.

Will the 'make installworld' and 'mergemaster' steps not work properly in my scenario?

Thanks.
