    If you can wait a few months "The Design and Implemenation of the
    FreeBSD Operating System" is probably what you want.

    http://www.mckusick.com/FreeBSDbook.html

    For now, the previous book, "The Design and Implemenation of the 4.4 BSD
    Operating System" is probably your best bet.
