oops.

Looks like that needs to be updated.

You didn't indicate which version of OpenBSD you are working with --
on 3.0, it is on disk 3, in the file src.tar.gz.  You want to untar
that file in your /usr/src directory:

(assuming cd#3 on /mnt)
   cd /usr/src
   tar xzvf /mnt/src.tar.gz

On 2.9 and before, it was two separate files: - src.tar.gz and
srcsys.tar.gz, the second holding the kernel source, and the first
holding everything else.

At a time in the past, I believe there was a CVS checkout on the disk
-- that's what the instructions in anoncvs.html refer to, I
believe...so yes, they need to be updated.  It's on my list now...
