It's not officially supported. If you used the defaults to create filesystems in 5.x they will be UFS2 and you're out of luck.

Thus using a boot floppy/CD is not possible. You need the sysinstall version that came with 4.9-RELEASE. If you have a spare slice on these machines you *might* be able to get this done, but it's very risky.
