I'd suggest you return the Bach book if you can. It's completely out of date (1986). The other two are good, and I can't think of any others to recommend. Possibly the Solaris internals book (forget the exact title) could be of use, but only marginally. There are some good Linux books, but the kernel implementation is so different that they're useless for FreeBSD.
