I want the entry in my supfile to read: tag=RELENG_8_1_0 - or > tag=RELENG_8.1_0 ? You must use RELENG_8_1 see http://www.freebsd.org/releng/ RELENG_8_1 is the errata branch for FreeBSD 8.1 RELENG_8_1_0 is the tag for the released FreeBSD 8.1, so without any patch applied since the release. > 5.)

You can follow the directions, csup + rebuild + and reinstall all the system (or just the kernel if the problem is a kernel one), or use freebsd-update(8) for binary update.
