You might find it easier to install the machine from an old CD-ROM
and the use installworld on an NFS mounted /usr/{src,obj}.

Use "cvs co -rRELENG_4 src" for -STABLE. Leave off "-r" for -CURRENT. If
you don't have CVSROOT defined, you'll need
cvs -d /your/cvsroot -R co -rRELENG_4 -P src
The '-R' is optional but will make it run much faster (it disables the
repository locking) and '-P' will remove empty directories. Note that
this step will over-write your /usr/src - pick a different parent
directory (the cd above) if you want to preserve an existing /usr/src.

For -STABLE, this should be:
make release CHROOTDIR=/somewhere/with/lots/of/space \
BUILDNAME=4.8-PRERELEASE \
CVSROOT=/your/cvsroot \
RELEASETAG=RELENG_4
That all looks reasonably correct (though I haven't used it for a while).
