Here's what I see with that:

$ cd /usr/src/
$ cvs tag successful-build-20211030
cvs tag: Tagging .
cvs [tag aborted]: could not open lock file 
`/cvsroot/src/,BUILDING,': Permission denied

Using sudo did not change anything. I have /usr/src owned by my 
local user...'bob'.

But it's been a good day. Using sysbuild and then sysupgrade I 
am now running:

$ uname -a
NetBSD nebbytwo 9.99.92 NetBSD 9.99.92 (GENERIC) #0: Sat Oct 30 
12:06:40 EDT 2021 
bob@nebbytwo:/home/bob/sysbuild/amd64/obj/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC 
amd64

No, I'm a long way from writing device drivers while my oatmeal 
is cooking, but who knows? It beats drinking in the morning, I 
guess.
