As for the location of the kernel sources:

As root run '/stand/sysinstall'
choose 'Custom'
choose '5 Distributions'
choose 'B Custom'
choose 'src'
choose 'sys'
Then Cancel back so you can choose the Media and commit.

Once it's installed you can 'cd /sys/i386/conf' to edit your kernel.
Read the Handbook for instructions.

If I've made any typos I hope someone jumps in with corrections.
