Hi folks,
If I understand the process of upgrading FreeeBSD correctly, after running:
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:

Thanks Damien.

Two questions -
1.) If rebooting into single user mode isn't obviously a
requirement...I wonder why so many tutorials, books, etc. tell you to
do this?
2.) How do I rebuild the ports?

Dropping into single user mode is highly recommended especially if
you're upgrading from, say, 8.1 to 8.2 (a minor version upgrade). If
If you're using a fairly recent version of FreeBSD, why not just use
the built-in freebsd-update?
freebsd-update upgrade -r 8.2-RELEASE
freebsd-update install
reboot

It's my understanding that if you have a custom kernel, you can't use
the binary update method.

Either you rebuild them by hand, one after another...
It kind of depends what kind of upgrade you are doing. When upgrading to
another minor version (say from 8.1 to 8.2) no port rebuilds

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.

Booting to single-user isn't
After you boot into single user mode, type mount -a. Then cd to /usr/src
and run mergemaster -p.
This worked, thanks.
mergemaster -p then ran fine with no errors, but when I tried 'make
