Try going by the attached message to "make release". You would need the
whole CVS repository to do this, not just the src for the specific repo
you want.

Subject: Creating a FreeBSD-Stable CD
Hi,
I ab about to upgrade to FreeBSD-stable from 4.0-R (ISO Image) - mainly
because I want to have the experience of doing so, and I would like burncd
to work as well - I was wondering how I could go about creating a CD which
I could install FreeBSD-stable from? I was unable to connect to
ftp://releng3.freebsd.org as staged in the handbook - I was theorizing
that I could download that entire directory tree and burn it to a
CD. Thankfully I have other ways to burn right now besides BSD, so I will
be able to create the image before my cvsup if desired.
Thank you all for your help,
Ivan Fetch.
