It seems the instructions are wrong. I'll fix them.

If the CVSROOT doesn't contain :pserver:, you don't have to
login. Just try it without (and CVS_RSH set to 'ssh').

Just add '-rnetbsd-1-5' in the checkout command, as in
	cvs checkout -P -rnetbsd-1-5 src

I think you don't have to add `-rnetbsd-1-5' to every `cvs update'
after that, because the tag should be sticky (that is, handled
automatically), but it doesn't hurt. I'm not sure if it automatically
works correctly for files that weren't there in the initial checkout.

Hope this helps,
 Thomas
