 From a fresh 5.3R install using the mini-install CD, I got the source 
using the RELENG_5_3 tag out of CVS, copied the GENERIC kernel 
configuration to one named ISIS, and then did a buildkernel 
KERNCONF=ISIS followed by an installkernel.  Unless there are changes 
between the 5.3R install and the RELENG_5_3 tag, this shouldn't be an 
issue....
