use:
*default tag=RELENG_5_3_0_RELEASE
or
*default tag=RELENG_5_3
or, if you want stable:
*default tag=RELENG_5

Are you in Austria? Europe?

Try:

If you have a broadband connection, you could use:
*default release=cvs
*default delete use-rel-suffix

Hello Gene,
See above suggestions.
Here is the procedure, taken from /usr/src/UPDATING. Also cvsup your
ports and read /usr/ports/UPDATING. There are important things to
do listed in both of them.
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>
make buildworld
make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
<reboot in single user>
/etc/rc.d/preseedrandom
mergemaster -p
make installworld
mergemaster
<reboot>
I hope this is a help and not a hinderance to you.
Don
