Thanks again Henrik and Ruben, you found the problem for me.

I've now built a new installation of 5.3 on ad0, and I have 
a copy of the 4.10 install on ad1. Now there's no question 
about which is running. 

I edited ad1's /etc/fstab to change all instances of ad0 to 
ad1, and now when I hit F5 during bootup to select drive 1, 
4.10 boots and runs fine on ad1. If I hit F1 during bootup, 
then 5.3 boots and runs fine on ad0. 

To recap, I only installed boot0 (using boot0cfg) on ad0, 
not on both drives. My computer BIOS boots the ad0 drive, 
and boot0 gives me a chance to select the ad1 drive. 

I note that boot0 remembers my last selection, and makes it 
the default on the next boot. Nice touch.
