It could be argued I was being a bit thick, but here it is: 
Anytime afterwards, to `update' this tree:  
(If you are following current):  
	# cd /usr/src 
	# cvs -q up -Pd 
(If you are following the patch branch for 2.9):  
	# cd /usr/src 
	# cvs -q up -rOPENBSD_2_9 -Pd 
Every time you ran this it would synchronize your /usr/src tree. It 
would not  destroy any of your local changes, rather it would attempt 
to merge changes  in. If you use obj directories (not obj symbolic 
links) you may wish to  append "-I obj" to the cvs command line, this 
will keep cvs from spitting out  a warning about all the obj 
directories it is going to encounter which are  not in the repository.  
NOTE: If you are updating a source tree that you initially fetched from 
a  different server, or from a CD, you must add the -d $CVSROOT options 
to cvs.  
	# cd /usr/src 
	# cvs -d $CVSROOT -q up -Pd 

Add the follwing: 

Or, if you installed the source tree from the cd, and want to follow 
the  patch branch: 

	# cd /usr/src 
			# cvs -d $CVSROOT -q up -rOPENBSD_2_9 -Pd
