what possible procedure for headless world/kernel rebuild and update
as manual suggest going singleuser but then network will be in question

is it possible ignore warnings and just update when 1 user online in multiuser
(maybe shutting up some daemons)

any one have experience with it?:stud
 
You can configure your network when you're in single user mode. Just start /etc/rc.d/netif and maybe /etc/rc.d/routing.
 
@ SirDice: Pretty hard to do that on a headless system, where the only access method is via the network. ;)

@ OP: while it's recommended that you drop to single-user mode to boot into the new kernel and to do the installworld portion, it's not a hard requirement. It's more of a safety net, as it guarantees that only 1 user is logged in and that no daemons are running that can mess things up. But, if you are careful, you can do it in multi-user mode. A lot of people do the installworld bits in multi-user.
