"in" may not be the proper way to express this,
better wording, imho, would be "reboot to single user mode",
Or even more complete to make the reason for the reboot to
single user mode explictly clear:
	<reboot to the just installed kernel in single
	user mode> *1

*1 This is to facilitate the next step, the single user mode
is required so that binaries are not in use while the installworld
process is done.
