Thanks Gary, I'm now very confused. I CVSuped with TAG=5.3, built world and the Kernel, but got the same problem with the boot disk not found. I'm not sure what to do next. I guess that I could try installing world in case that cures the problem the worst that could happen is that I can't boot the system. I can always reinstall from CD - that is probably quicker than trying to build a RELENG_5_3_0_Release.
