Hi Chad,
Just off the top of my head, it seems to me, from what you've
described, you aren't following the correct procedure. I suggest
following the procedure in /usr/src/UPDATING. What you want is
located towards the end. I fact, I'll quote it here for you:
To rebuild everything and install it on the current system.
-----------------------------------------------------------
# Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than
# is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current.
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
<maybe fix /etc/fstab> [7]
make buildworld
make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
[1]
<reboot in single user> [3]
/etc/rc.d/preseedrandom [10]
mergemaster -p [5]
make installworld
mergemaster [4]
<reboot>
Also, be aware that 5.3 uses some different groups and users, you're
going to have to put your users and passwords back in.
