I just did what you are trying to by following the instructions in 
/usr/src/UPDATING (from 6.2 of course, in the end of the doc). Went 
without a hitch.

Errors Upgrading from 5.4 to 6.2

[Jonathan Quist]

I'm attempting to upgrade my system from 5.4 to 6.2 using sysinstall after 
booting from the 6.2 cdrom. After I identify the mount points on the existing 
slices and exit, I get this message: "Couldn't stat directory /mnt/dev", 
followed by this message: "Unable to mount DEVFS (error 5), and it won't 
continue with the upgrade. There isn't a filesystem mounted at /mnt, and /dev 
is a just directory under the root filesystemm, not a separate filesystem. Is 
there something I'm doing wrong, or do I have something misconfigured? Any 
advice, suggestions, pointers would be greatly appreciated.
