Below is the instructions I followed which I copied from the current /usr/src/UPDATING file.

I am following the instructions from /usr/src/UPGRADING

        mergemaster -i                                  [4]
        <reboot>

I am still getting ...

. . .

Should these instructions be modified/updated to be:

       To upgrade in-place from 5.x-stable or higher to 6.x-stable
       -----------------------------------------------------------
       <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
       make buildworld                                 [9]
       make buildkernel   KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE    [8]
       make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
                                                       [1]
       <reboot in single user>                         [3]
       mergemaster -p                                  [5]
       make installworld
       mergemaster -i                                  [4]
       <reboot>

I don't claim know enough about this to make instructions but after booting into single user mode (and I am sure after the <reboot>) I found that I was still running my 5.4 kernel. I decided to try "make installkernel" and reboot again which fixed the version for me.

Just my two cents...
