I was using the 5.3 release CD. The checksums match those listed. It was installed onto a re-formatted drive as I wanted the UFS-2. The source was installed as part of the original installation. Anyway, either the cvsup or the cleandirs worked. I was able to buildworld and a new kernel. Installation of both appears to have gone correctly. uname gives the new kernel and strings of /boot/kernel/kernel also shows the new name. uname before said 5.3-RELEASE. It would appear that when I build the production systems I will immediately after instalation cvsup to RELENG_5_3 and then run make cleandir before anything else. Fortunately right now I am playing with test systems. It it at all possible to not have to buildworld when building a new kernel? For example, I was trying to add option atapicam. It would seem that buildworld would not be necessary in that situation.
