This is a known problem, and unfortunately my solution to it broke
cross-compilation. Someone more intelligent may just fix it soon.

I think you're supposed to reboot with a new kernel (built with
'make buildkernel && make installkernel') and then installworld.
This is the new 'one true way'. It's not supposed to work over
more than one major version, so I doubt 3.4 -> 5.0 will work for
much longer.
