Hmmm... It might be hardware, but I'd wait and see. If it is
hardware, doing something more strenuous with your system like
cvsup'ing the latest ports or doing a buildworld will probably pick it
up.
As for installing cvsup, you can grab the latest build of the csup
package by doing:
fetch ftp://ftp.dk.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/Latest/cvsup.tgz
The package file 'cvsup.tgz' itself is simply a compressed tar file
which you can feed directly to pkg_add. If that fails, you can
extract the cvsup binary from the package using tar:
happy-idiot-talk:/tmp:% tar -ztvf cvsup.tgz

bin/cvsup
You can use that binary, even though it isn't officially "installed"
to update your ports tree and system sources, which should get you a
long way towards a properly working machine:
/tmp/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 -h cvsup.dk.freebsd.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile
/tmp/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 -h cvsup.dk.freebsd.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile
Cheers,
Matthew
