G'day,
      I am following 1.6.1_STABLE also. If you have already checked out
the source into /usr/src you only need to go into /usr/src and say

cvs update -dP

      With stable we still go the old way, build a new kernel first and
reboot with it.

cd /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf

config GENERIC

cd /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC

make depend all

mv /netbsd /netbsd.old

mv /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC/netbsd /

shutdown -r now

If that works then you should

mkdir /usr/obj

cd /usr/src

setenv DESTDIR /usr/builds/first

./build.sh -D /usr/builds/first -d

If that completes then you can

./build.sh -D /usr/builds/first install=/

    This works for me anyway but takes about 10 hrs all up on a 400MHz
Celeron with 128 MB ram.
    It may change some things in /etc if this is your first time.
