    The system didn't have the sources, so I downloaded the first CD ISO
    and extracted them from there into:

    /usr/src/sys

    Could there be more sources that I need to extract?

    Also I tried the suggestion:

    cd /usr/src
    make buildkernel KERNCONF=COMPUTERNAME
    <wait a bit>
    make installkernel KERNCONF=COMPUTERNAME

    And I just got the message:

    make: don't know how to make buildkernel. Stop

    There is nothing in my /usr/src directory besides the /sys dir.

    Thanks for all the help.
