While this advice was correct for all previous FreeBSD releases, cvsup(8) support for 9.1-RELEASE is not going to be provided. See this message from re@: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2012-August/069233.html Ken Smith wrote: > With both the doc and ports repositories now moved to SVN it has been > decided to not export the 9.1 release branch activity to CVS.

Instead, you will be able to use freebsd-update to track 9.1-RELEASE (including system sources), or you can use SVN to follow the releng/9.1 branch. You will still be able to use cvsup to track RELENG_9 aka. 9.1-STABLE aka. stable/9. Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey
