If I were trying to do the complete CVS thing, I'd probably be barking
mad by now, gnawing the carpets :-)

None needed!  Thanks for the interest in my case.

And thanks to others who have responded.  I seem to have a handle
on what the all the answers are.  I've even found /var/sup/[stuff],
and I think I understand what it all means.

At any rate, I've just completed a kernel redo and a make world
on "." = -current, and things look like they work.

Anyway, I'm back in the O'BSD fold, used to run it on a couple of
pmaxes until the monitors went south, version 2.something 1 or 2.
Looks like the mips port has been abandoned. (NetB still has it,
a testimony to the longevity of those old vaxstations.)

I think the solution is for be to probably just drop a note
to the cvsup port maintainer with a couple of diffs for the manpage.

Again, thanks to all!
