So if I understand this correctly, after the reboot, the system should
come up in single user mode, yes? It didn't seem to work, but maybe I

Running this from single-user errors out with "pkg: Insufficient
privilege to upgrade packages". But this make me suspect I
misunderstood the previous instructions.
