Hi Tom,

Actually you'll never want to mail both -hackers and -current at the same
time.  This question probably is a -hackers one since it is a generic
issue that applies to many releases of FreeBSD. 

You'll need a copy of the CVS repository on your machine pointed at by
CVSROOT in order to make release (as well as the vn pseudo-device in your
kernel.)

We visited this issue a couple of months ago on -hackers, so you might
want to use the http://www.freebsd.org/search.html interface to find that
discussion.

Hope this helps,
-Chris
