Looks OK. I've had to do it myself a few times. If the protections are
messed up (i.e. the "p" does the right thing, but that's the wrong thing :()
you'll have to use the relevant mtree proto under /etc/mtree.
Another, safe, way to do this is to re-run the update after booting the
appropriate bsd.rd. It's quite OK to just update the comp package.
If it whines that you didn't upload bsd just say you know what you're doing. :)
