Good, for starters you have a recent RELENG_2_2 src.

I don't know why, I got bit once, at this point I figure I need a 
"make buildworld" laying around.

Then just to make sure I never forget (again), in /root/.cshrc I put the
following:

# for "make release"
setenv CHROOTDIR /home/release
setenv BUILDNAME 2.2.7-dmk
setenv CVSROOT /home/ncvs
setenv RELEASETAG RELENG_2_2

At home /home/ncvs is updated via cvsup. At work I use CTM (can't get 
cvsup thru the firewall).

# cd /usr/src/release
# make release

Its best to do that online the first time as a couple of ports are 
needed.
