I can't resist mentioning that Kirk McKusick and others are working on a (paper) book on FreeBSD kernel, based on FreeBSD 5 series to replace very good but aging Design and Implementation of 4.4BSD Operating System (from the FreeBSD viewpoint). Last time I talked with him (early this summer) he had a guesstimate that it'd be complete next summer. OTOH, predicting is hard, especially predicting the future. ;) I'm sure waiting for this book... There's also FreeBSD Architecture Handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/arch-handbook/index.html) which supposedly works well as a "patch set" for the 4.4BSD book for the folks that already feel reasonably comfortable with kernel concepts. -kirma
