Read the handbook on how to recompile your kernel for which you need the /usr/src/sys directory tree. The handbook should be in /usr/share/doc/handbook with 2 versions the ascii version which is called handbook.latin1 in FreeBSD 2.2.1 and the html'ized version which would be handbook_toc.html (lynx handbook_toc.html). The handbook is also found on www.freebsd.org which should be the most updated one, just follow the documentation links. Hope that helps, Peter
