You can install the kernel sources with /stand/sysinstall. Just choose
the intimidating `7 Custom' from the main menu, where it says `for 
experts'. From that menu select `4 Distributions' and than `7 Custom'.
Remember to select a menu item by hiliting it with the cursor keys and
than pressing the *space* key -- *not* the enter key. After that
choose sources and finally FreeBSD kernel.

After selecting the kernel source distribution you have to choose your
media and then commit your selections.

This reads more complicated than it is!
