It should point to /usr/src/sys. First, check whether it does: # ls -l /sys lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 11 Dec 20 01:03 /sys -> usr/src/sys If it points anywhere else, do this: # rm /sys # ln -s /usr/src/sys /sys If you don't have the directory /usr/src/sys, that's another problem. You then need to install the sources. Greg
