make buildworld
make buildkernel
make installkernel
I then need to reboot into single user mode (which can only be done if
I'm physically standing at the machine, right?), and then finally:
adjkerntz -i
mount -a -t ufs
Patrick,
It's my understanding that if you have a custom kernel, you can't use
the binary update method.

Some of these steps are best practices. If you're lucky and

I just got a new Supermicro Atom board a few days ago (X7SPA-HF-D525).
It has a Nuvoton BMC chip that is attached to LAN1 and provides IPMI
and KVM-over-IP functionality. The chip gets its own IP address
(separate from em0 in FreeBSD) and is powered whenever the power cord
is plugged-in.
