Guess you missed the section on release naming. At this time V5 is still not
stable. So stable is now V4.9RC. It's hoped that 5.3 will be ready to call
stable.

If you are running V5.1 and want to update, the only place to go is CURRENT
(or "." in your supfile).

You should be able to recover the old 5.1 system by entering a space (or any
character other than <Enter>) after hitting F1. This will drop you into the
loader prompt and you should still be able to load /boot/kernel, your old
V5.1 kernel.

ok unload
ok /boot /boot/kernel/kernel

If you have done an installworld on the new system (and you should not have
if you were carefully following the instructions in the handbook), things
should be back to "normal" after a cvsup to current (or 5.1), "make
buildworld" and "make kernel".
