First verify the /usr/src dir on your CDROM against the original tree!

mount_cd9660 /dev/cd0c /cdrom
cd /cdrom/usr/src                             # assuming it sits there
rm -r *                                       # get rid of the old
contents
tar -s cf - . | (cd /usr/src; tar -p xf - )   # copy over

Alternatively, mounting the CD-ROM somewhere (assuming /cdrom/usr/src
contains your image)

mount_cd9660 /dev/cd0c /cdrom
cd /usr
rm -r src                    # kill it's old contents
ln -sf /cdrom/usr/src src    # link the cdrom src directory there

Check your CD-ROM. Did you make an ISO filesystem before you burnt
anything? Read "man mkisofs".
