I hope that wasn't the full command line, because its supposed to be:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at nitros9.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nitros9 login

Pressing enter at the password prompt then sets up a CVS dir in the
location in the file structure where you are cd'd to ATM.  As long as
you have write access to that directory, the return code should be 0.

So that looks as if it worked.  Now what happens when you issue this:
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous at nitros9.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nitros9 co -P nitros9

It should pull the repository, starting at:
U nitros9/TODO
U nitros9/makefile
U nitros9/rules.mak
U nitros9/3rdparty/ReadMe
U nitros9/3rdparty/makefile
U nitros9/3rdparty/booters/boot_mmc.asm

yadda, yadda, till its done, and when its done you should have a verbatum 
copy of the tree on your machine.  Ready to build.
