look at the documentation section on www.netbsd.org.  i'm fairly sure
there is a kernel-compiling in there.  i believe there may also be a
kernel HOWTO on www.macbsd.com.  the sources themselves are on 
ftp.netbsd.org or its mirrors, usually very near to the distribution sets
that you used to install the system.  generally you want syssrc.tgz.

later.
