Anthony when you downloaded and installed the 5.0 ISO you installed the
-RELEASE line of the OS.  If you set up CVSUP to sync the -CURRENT line
then you'll be updating your system to the -CURRENT line the next time you
build world.  If you haven't 'build world' yet, you're still running
-RELEASE.

I'm trying to recall, and perhaps I'm wring, but you should be able to do
a 'uname -a' at the command line and it'll tell you what kernel you're
running.... -release or -current.
