I have recently installed version 2.2.6. I want to edit my kernel. However, I do not have the directories /usr/src/sys on my system. I understand this means the source isn't installed. I want to go back & install it. Here's the dilemma. My ATAPI IDE CD ROM is currently not mountable by FreeBSD. Can I create a do-able fix by setting my BIOS to boot from the CD ROM and then choosing a custom installation, choosing to only install the source? And if so, is there a definite selection I should make, or is it obvious? I just don't want to trash the now good installation. Obviously, my fear is that I might somehow install something that would wipe out what is okay now, and be left with the only option of simply fully re-installing from scratch. Thanks in advance. And thanks to all who helped me with the info on rebuilding the kernel.
