That's right -- don't use the "-f" flag.  You don't need the "-N"
flag, either.  See below.

#2 is the right answer.  For your initial checkout, chdir into /usr
and type:

    cvs -q checkout -P -r RELENG_2_1_0 src
    cvs -q checkout -P ports

After you've checked out everything the first time, you should use
"cvs update ..." instead of "cvs checkout" to bring it up to date
periodically.  For the source tree, chdir into /usr/src and type:

    cvs -q update -Pd -r RELENG_2_1_0

For the ports tree, chdir into /usr/ports and type:

    cvs -q update -APd
