It will fail half way through on some files with nochg flags or something like that.

Design feature:
'schg' is the system immutable flag. Some system files are installed with 'schg' for security reasons; installworld must remove this flag in order to install a new version of these files. However, when securelevel > 0 system immutable flags may not be turned off (see init(8)). An attempt to remove the system immutable flag (set 'noschg') will therefore fail. As a result, installworld fails.


Canonical answer:
Reboot into single user mode to perform the installworld as documented in UPDATING and section 19.4.1 of the handbook.

Jon
