Re: 5.2 - 5.3 without single mode?
In general, yes, there will be. Quite an extensive one. Usually thoroughly bikeshedded on the lists beforehand. As a rule, always do installkernel before installworld. The new kernel will always run the old world (within reason), although often not vice versa. Then, in case of a failure, it should always come back up.

Maybe, maybe not. All I'm saying is that often you can get away with short cuts, but unless you really know what's going on there are a number of different things that can mess you up trying to do the shortcut. Some of which can be a 'restore from backup' mistake.

5.2 - 5.3 without single mode?
Is it possible to cvsup from 5.2 to 5.3 without booting in single mode? I have a remote machine and want update it, but it is no console access, only SSH.

You don't actually need to reboot in single-user mode. Just make sure your users wouldn't use the server hard during the # mergemaster -p # make installworld # mergemaster cycle.
