here is howto rebuild you system via cvs
dump this into a file

*default host=cvsup.uk.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/usr

*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_7
*default delete use-rel-suffix
src-all
--------------->8
add these lines to /etc/make.conf
SUP_UPDATE= yes
SUPFILE= <file u just created>
then
cd /usr/src
make update && make buildworls && make buildkernel && make installkernel
( if you are multicore do a -j 8 or something on the build lines,
anything upto 32 should build ok )
reboot
cd /usr/src
mergmaster -p
make installworld
mergmaster
reboot
i theory tou should rebuild all your ports now as well, but generally i
never both and havent had trouble
if you dont have anything in /usr/src or dont have one just install the
base src distribution from sysinstall
or
download install.sh, sbase.aa, sbase.inf from you favorite freebsd
mirror and do a
./install.sh base
eg mine is here
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/7.1-RELEASE/src/

It seems to me that most people that come to this list with base-system
update problems are using freebsd-update.

This is going to seem stupid, but instead of making a new topic, can
someone link to me a working link of the handbook where you update
your CVS and so on? I know that on the FreeBSD page there is a
handbook that has exactly what I'm looking for, and for some reason
I'm having trouble finding it even though I used to have it saved but
I don't anymore and I wanted to get CVS sources updated so I can do
some updating.
Thanks

Not sure if the OP wants to track the errata ou the stable branch so
little heads up:
tag=RELENG_7_1 to follow the errata branch
tag=RELENG_7 to follow stable

Ricardo Jesus.
