Yes.. something.. did you check the output of your installworld so
nothing went wrong on the way ?

Well.. not to say to much but I've done a cvsup upgrade from
5.2.1-RELEASE-p9 to 5.3-BETA2 connected throw a ssh and that went,
almost, without any trouble.. but I guess you really need to know what
to expect if you do this and also have ether a test server and/or a
level-0 backup..
