	This is contrary to the "How to Update with CVS" documentation 
that I have found in chapter 18.1 in the NetBSD Guide, which in HTML 
form in the English language, is located at 
<http://www.mclink.it/personal/MG2508/nbsdeng/chap-cvs.html#AEN4890>. 
Specifically, it says:

| To get the sources from scratch without having anything in /usr/src
|
| % setenv CVSROOT :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot
| % cd /usr
| % cvs login
| password: anoncvs
| % cvs checkout -rnetbsd-1-5 -PA src
|
| Or do it by ssh, so that the data is encrypted:
|
| % setenv CVS_RSH ssh
| % setenv CVSROOT anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot
| % cd /usr
| % cvs checkout -rnetbsd-1-5 -PA src
|
| This will fetch the source from the 1.5 release branch. To obtain
| the current source just omit "-rnetbsd-1-5" in the last line.

	In my examples, I was starting from the /usr directory, as 
specified in the instructions.
