To build 5-CURRENT snapshot on 4.x, you do NOT need to update
/usr/src to 5-CURRENT and buildworld first, as this will 100%
result in a ENOSYS.  Instead, your /usr/obj should be populated
with the buildworld output for sources matching your running
system, that is 4.x, so if you're currently running 4.9-STABLE,
/usr/src should be the same 4.9-STABLE sources, and /usr/obj
should be a product of it.  This is what gets installed into a
chroot area as the first step of "make release".

Then "make release" can checkout 5-CURRENT sources, and produce
a snapshot of 5-CURRENT.

To do this, you also need an access to a 5-CURRENT version of
release/Makefile, so follow this procedure on a 4.x box:

	cd /tmp
	cvs co -l release/Makefile      # 5-CURRENT
	cd release
	make release WORLDDIR=/usr/src ...

4.x uses vn(4) to produce file system images, so just ensure
that it's in the kernel.  Typing "vnconfig" under root will do
it for you.
