Below is the instructions I followed which I copied from the current 
/usr/src/UPDATING file.

Should these instructions be modified/updated to be:

        To upgrade in-place from 5.x-stable or higher to 6.x-stable
        -----------------------------------------------------------
        <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
        make buildworld                                 [9]
        make buildkernel   KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE    [8]
        make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
                                                        [1]
        <reboot in single user>                         [3]
        mergemaster -p                                  [5]
        make installworld
        mergemaster -i                                  [4]
        <reboot>

I don't claim know enough about this to make instructions but after 
booting into single user mode  (and I am sure after the <reboot>) I 
found that I was still running my 5.4 kernel. 

I decided to try "make installkernel" and reboot again which fixed the 
version for me.

Just my two cents...
