Below is the instructions I followed which I copied from the current
/usr/src/UPDATING file.

Should these instructions be modified/updated to be:
To upgrade in-place from 5.x-stable or higher to 6.x-stable
-----------------------------------------------------------
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
make buildworld [9]
make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE [8]
make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
[1]
<reboot in single user> [3]
mergemaster -p [5]
make installworld
mergemaster -i [4]
<reboot>
I don't claim know enough about this to make instructions but after
booting into single user mode (and I am sure after the <reboot>) I
found that I was still running my 5.4 kernel.
I decided to try "make installkernel" and reboot again which fixed the
version for me.
Just my two cents...
