When I tried that, it gave the same error message: no
sys.mk file.  So I deleted /usr/src and extracted the
kernel tree from src-sys.tar.bz2 again. and tried it -
this ran for a bit and then couldn't find a file...

So I re-installed DF from scratch.  But I got the same
error. :-(  Just to be sure, I am recompiling the kernel
using GENERIC and it seems to be running fine.  Obviously
there's a problem with my config file, which I will sort
out eventually.

Thanks to everyone who helped, I knew this was mainly
my lack of knowledge.  But wouldn't it be advisable if
the wiki were updated to reflect this path to making a
custom kernel? (src-sys.tar.bz2 -> make nativekernel)
(Especially for those who might not be able to go online
with their build machine?)  Thanks to everyone again.
