Kernel documentatation as there is is spread over a number of places: - There's a section of the online handbook on some aspects of kernel hacking. - "The Design and Implementation of the 4.4BSD Operating System", by McKusick and Co., is quite relevant (but the VM system is completely different in FreeBSD). - Section 9 of the man pages describes some functions, macros and structures. - There are some relevant tutorials, including a Device Driver Writer's Guid in the list at http://www.freebsd.org/docs.html Probably all of this won't be enough. Sign up for FreeBSD-hackers and ask any questions you still have there.
