Here you will find ssys.*

1. Boot freebsd
2. mount your dos-drive
3  cd to /your/dos-drive/mount-point/FreeBSD/src
4  make sure you have /usr/src created
5  Now, at the command prompt:

#cat ssys.?? | tar --unlink -xvpzf - -C /usr/src

or if you would like to preserve the files already installed:

#cat ssys.?? | tar --keep-old-files --unlink -xvpzf - -C /usr/src

6. Now you have the kernel source installed. 

that's it.

Just a Hint: play with kernel, but don't forget to copy the 'current &
working' kernel under a significant name like:

# cp /kernel  /kernel.SAVEMEPLEASE

This will save you much time and problems, beleive me :-)
