That sounds strange.

In the past (like 4 months ago), I did a 5.0 -> 4.3-stable upgrade
with the following technique:

	make buildworld
	make instalworld -k
	make instalworld -k
	# build the kernel via the old way
	install the kernel
	mergemaster
	reboot
	make world
	rebuild the kernel again
	mergemaster (again)

I'm sure that I've forgotten some hacks I had to do to make it work.
