Here is an example, using a FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE CD: # mount /cdrom # cd /cdrom/7.0-RELEASE/kernels # ./install.sh GENERIC This will install it to /boot/GENERIC and you can copy it to /boot/kernel if you wish. Or you can use nextboot(8) to boot it once and see what happens. Keep in mind that if you have updated your system (e.g. freebsd-update), this kernel may not be in sync with the rest of the system.
