I did something stupid ?

[R. W.]

Sound like what you actually did was upgrade to  FreeBSD-CURRENT
which is bleeding edge (and probably closer to 5.3 than 5.21), and then 
downgraded to 5.2.1.

If you couldn't build the kernel then you shouldn't actually have  
installed anything yet. In that case I would leave it and see if you 
can get back on track with 5.3-RELEASE (subject to anyone more 
knowledgable answering). 

I don't really see why you would be having trouble booting, unless you 
installed something, out of sequence. Have you tried booting the 
previous kernel?
