You didn't boot into the 5.0-CURRENT kernel. One of the changes from
4.X to 5.X is that the kernel no longer lives in /kernel, but has been
moved to /boot/kernel/kernel (with the modules living under the same
directory too, /boot/kernel).
In order to boot into the new kernel, you have to interrupt the loader
at the "Press ENTER to boot or any other key ..." prompt, and type the
following at the OK loader prompt:
OK unload
OK load /boot/kernel/kernel
OK boot -s
Then you will boot with the new kernel.

Look in /boot/kernel too :)
