I would think something like /usr/src/386.bsd (or something to that
effect).   But don't hold your breath.  I installed the ENTIRE source
tree, and tried to build a kernel using an UNMODIFIED GENERICSA 
config file, and it wouldn't even build!  I got an error about
an unreferenced symbol (the exact error escapes me right now).
