Slightly easier is to just do:

cvsup -h cvsup.ca.FreeBSD.org stable-supfile.

Even easier is to set SUPFILE=/usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile
and SUPHOST=cvsup.ca.FreeBSD.org in /etc/make.conf, then cd to
/usr/src and do "make update". If it can't find cvsup, you may want to
set "SUP=/path/to/cvsup" in /etc/make.conf as well.
