Seems you have not installed the system sources. if so, 1) mount the CD, 2) cd /cdrom/dists/src 3) cat ssys* | tar xvzf - -C /usr/src 4) cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf. make your own kernel ex:xxx, by copying from GENERIC, do a config xxx, cd ../../compile/xxx, make depend all install. It installs the new kernel ready for booting.
