Heh--I bet ya got lazy and didn't look at UPDATING. There's a few things that will have to be done, fairly well covered there, such as copying device.hints to /boot, and some kind of make install while in /boot (I've forgotten as I did this awhile back and am, at present, too lazy to look myself.) Seriously, take a good look towards the bottom of /usr/src/UPDATING and look at the instructions for upgrading. Also, take them seriously when they say (somewhere else, possibly the early deployment guide) don't use the shortcuts that you are used to using.

4.7 --> 5.0 via CVSup
Hello All Just for yucks I tried to upgrade a 4.7 box to 5.0 via cvsup/buildworld. It's been, erm, less than successful. Is this possible? Is it documented? I'm sure it is, but I can't find it. Can someone give me a pointer? The Handbook still has the 4.7 build instructions. My (new) kernel is now appearing in /boot, seems to be much smaller, and isn't seen at boot time. Figured I'd ask for help before hacking it into submission :) Is the 'old' build method no longer valid? Pointers to docs appreciated. I can grab the ISOs and do it if I need to, this is just a test box.
