I was trying to move this system to -stable from -release (both 3.7 -
of course). So, I consulted http://www.openbsd.org/stable.html and -
because of that - http://www.openbsd.org/anoncvs.html. I grabbed
src.tar.gz and sys.tar.gz from muk.kd85.com and then untar'ed them
both (tar xzf) - with no problems.

Sounds like the important 'cd /usr/src' step before untarring src was either missed, or failed (e.g. if the directory didn't exist).

Can I suggest someone applies this to the www tree?:

To extract the source tree from the CD to <i>/usr/src</i> (assuming the CD is
mounted on /mnt):
