If i understand the boot procedure right it isnt the the mbr but the boot sector of the partition. For 5.0 the kernel and modules stuff can be found unter /boot not in the root-tree. So after a buildkernel and installkernel none of the boot sectors are overwritten and the old kernel will be loaded. I think this has to be mentioned in the UPDATING text should it?
