Yes, they usually are in /usr/src, but it doesn't really matter.
I keep my source in a separate filesystem mounted at /s, though I also
have symlinks /usr/src -> /s/src, /usr/xsrc -> /s/xsrc, /usr/pkgsrc ->
/s/pkgsrc, etc.

You can delete the source, but you might have to reinstall it when you
want to recompile config again.

I don't know where to start, but I thought there was a Nutshell book
on make from O'Reilly.  IIRC, it was a pretty good introduction.

The `c' command to let the system continue to run, or `reboot' to
reboot the system.  When you get the kernel to panic, the `c' command
does almost the same thing as `reboot' except it may create the crash
dump if enabled (see savecore(8)).

For more information, see ddb(4).
