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
csup -g -L 1 -h cvs#.cc.freebsd.org
/usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile
i.e: cvs17.us.freebsd.org
This will update to your uname -r latest patchlevel. Copy and replace (for
you): RELENG_7_0 with RELENG_7_1 to get the latest patchlevel for 7.1
Original doc seems either replaced by the freebsd-update method (while
excellent, there are a few things that CVS really triumphs on).
csup is part of base.
I'd be glad to help you through. The canonical update method is still
listed in the handbook (SS. 24.7.1) used after retrieving the sources.
Thank you Tim for the answers! So far I have used freebsd-update to
apply updates. I seem to recall that it is never good to mix the two
systems (freebsd-updates and csup) to avoid trouble. Is that true?
Also, the documentation you mention (24.7.1) says this:
After installkernel finishes successfully, you should boot in single
user mode (i.e. using boot -s from the loader prompt).
How can this be done with a remote machine?
NO without serial access or some kind of ALOM card eg DELL DRAC CARD, as
you will have no ip up
