5.x use UFS2 filesystems by default.  To my knowledge, 4.x does not
have any way to access these.  You'll have to reinstlal 5.X to get
at your data.

When installing 5.X, you can use the options in the disk partitioning
section to choose UFS1 filesystems, which can be used by 4.X ... and
even Linux, I believe.
