Getting bits and pieces is a bit difficult if the number of files is
large, say more than 5 or so.  In this case it'd be easier to just remove
/usr/src/sys and reinstall the src/ssys distribution from CD or FTP.
Simply run `cd /usr/src; cat /path/to/ssys.* | tar xzf -' to extract.

You didn't mention what version of FreeBSD you were running.
