Here's how it works for me with FreeBSD 4.4 RELEASE.
After running /stand/sysinstall as root, go down to
Configure Do post-install configuration of FreeBSD
and press the SPACEBAR to get the next screen.
(Note that you should use the SPACEBAR to select in these
menus. Accidental use of the enter key can give unexpected
navigation results.)
Go down to
Distributions Install additional distribution sets
and press the SPACEBAR.
Now go down to
[ ] src Sources for everything
and hit SPACEBAR on it.
In the next screen, use the SPACEBAR to select
[ ] sys /usr/src/sys (FreeBSD kernel)
then press TAB to highlight "OK", and press ENTER.
