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. 

Don
