You need a directory sub-tree,

  /usr/src/sys and a link, /sys->/usr/src/sys

If you have to create the head of the tree, the modess are:

  > ls -lF /usr
  drwxr-xr-x  22 bin   bin     512 May  4 22:28 src/

  > ls -lF /usr/src
  drwxr-xr-x   31 root  wheel       512 Mar  8 20:37 sys/


I believe you can unpack the ssys.* files into the /usr/src/sys tree,
using the install.sh script.

If you have the files, sbin.aa, sbin.ab, ..., ssys.aa, ssys.ab, ...
in the tree, /dos/freebsd/src, you can run the install.sh script to
unpact the desired part of the tree.  './install.sh sys' should unpack
the sys sources into /usr/src.

Do you know what to change to build a new kernel?  Do you know the
build steps?  There is lots of info on the web site, www.freebsd.org,
under documentation.

I have attached the 2.2.6 install.sh script.

Hope this helps,
tomdean


The 2.2.6 script is:

#!/bin/sh
#
if [ "`id -u`" != "0" ]; then
        echo "Sorry, this must be done as root."
        exit 1
fi
if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then
        echo "You must specify which components of src to extract"
        echo "possible subcomponents are:"
        echo
        echo "base bin contrib etc games gnu include lib libexec lkm"
        echo "release sbin share smailcf sys ubin usbin"
        echo
        echo "You may also specify all to extract all subcomponents."
        exit 1
fi

if [ "$1" = "all" ]; then
        dists="base bin contrib etc games gnu include lib libexec lkm release sb
in share smailcf sys ubin usbin"
else
        dists="$*"
fi

for i in $dists; do
        echo "Extracting source component: $i"
        cat s${i}.?? | tar --unlink -xpzf - -C /usr/src
done
exit 0
