What I do when I need network access in single-user mode (mount disks, 
turn on swap, turn on networking):
1) 'fsck -p' (ensure disk consistency)
2) 'mount -u /' (remount / as rw)
3) 'mount -at ufs' (mount the rest of the local partitions)
4) 'swapon -a' (get swap going)
5) '/etc/netstart' (start networking)

This may skip steps, do more than needed, or not use the right commands 
-- I don't know.  It's just always worked for me...
