I am still trying to figure out how to download the kernel source code.  So far 
it seems that every method listed on the web site is broken, i.e. SVN does not 
work, and there are no links to any tarballs.  Furthermore, attempts to obtain 
a CD or DVD fail because it asks for me to log in, but refuses to accept my 
login and password (even though it will happily email me a password).

OpenSolaris is more like the BSD distributions than it is like Linux in this sense. In the Linux world there is a pretty clear distinction between "the core kernel" and every thing else.

For OpenSolaris "the kernel" is in the OS/NET (aka ON) consolidation, this is pretty close to what the core of most of the BSD distributions is (and this is no accident but has historical ties).

So you can't download "just the kernel".
