Sound like what you actually did was upgrade to FreeBSD-CURRENT which is bleeding edge (and probably closer to 5.3 than 5.21), and then downgraded to 5.2.1. If you couldn't build the kernel then you shouldn't actually have installed anything yet. In that case I would leave it and see if you can get back on track with 5.3-RELEASE (subject to anyone more knowledgable answering). I don't really see why you would be having trouble booting, unless you installed something, out of sequence. Have you tried booting the previous kernel?
