Hi,

You skipped `mergemaster -p'. Consult /usr/src/Makefile for more
information about the necessary steps.

Also RELENG_6 won't take you to 6.1. You need RELENG_6_1. Check files in
/usr/share/examples/cvsup/ for more details about configurations.

Also, you might want to read this as well:

Cheers,
Mikhail.
