If you installed from CDROM, then:
1. Put the installation CD back in your CD-ROM drive.
2. Mount the CD. I'll assume you mounted it under /cdrom
3. Type the following commands to extract kernel source under /usr/src/sys
# cd /usr/src
# cat /cdrom/src/ssys.* | tar xzvf -
The "#" indicates that you must the run command as "root".
