ftp to a FreeBSD mirror site, and get the sys.a? files from the src/ dir-
ectory.  Then:

$ cd /usr/src
$ cat $FTP_DIR/sys.?? | gzip -c -d | tar xvf -

(I believe that's the right command!)  That will put the /usr/src/sys
sources in thier proper places.  You might need to get the lkm.?? src
dist, also.
