No, dropping into single-user mode will NOT do the trick. The whole point is to make REALLY sure that you have a running kernel BEFORE you blow away the existing user land with the installworld. If the new kernel won't boot, it's pretty easy to back up to kernel.old and modules.old and try to figure out whet went wrong. If the kernel is broken and you have already installed world, you have the potential of having no choice but to rebuild the system from scratch, not something you want to do. R.
