The normal way to get the sources for is to get the files from
ftp.netbsd.org, in /pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.2/source. For exemple, if you need
the kernel sources, you only need to get the ksrc12.?? files from
the /pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.2/source/ksrc12 directory.
Once you have all the ksrc12.?? file, extract the sources with the command
"cat ksrc12.?? |gunzip | tar xvf -".
