Did you reboot after the 5.3 install or do the upgrade whilst booted
from that install disk?

You shouldn't have two masters on ata0.  I hope that's a typo.

How far through the boot process do you get?  I gather the loader runs
successfully and loads the kernel but the kernel can't find ad0.  Does
it find the controller (ata0 or whatever)?
