For updating to a new kernel, you definitely want to keep doing the
whole shutdown-and-reboot, because you want to be booting under your
*newly*built* kernel.

You're quite right, but the problem was how to get to the single-user mode before doing the upgrade... :)) Once the kernel is built and the build installworld is done one normally would shutdown and reboot - after updating all the relevant configuration files.
