Install the kernel sources in /usr/src/sys, cd to
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf.

The default kernel config file is GENERIC - you can copy this to another
file and modify it to match your hardware.  The LINT kernel config has
pretty much all of the options available.

After you have edited your kernel config, do the following:

# config <filename>
# cd ../../compile/<filename>
# make depend
# make
# make install

Reboot to activate your new kernel.

I imagine you could order direct from Walnut Creek
