	Pay a visit to local Barnes and Noble - they have a plenty 
	of books on the topic. One of them is "Writing Device Drivers in C"
	by Philip. M  Adams. There's also ( pretty rudimentary) book on
	writing the same things for SCO Unix ( vanilla SVR3).

	Intall the "sys" source code on your FreeBSD machine and take a dig - 
	this could be best way to go ( FreeBSD comes with FULL source code
	which is also free :)

	See above :) - the source code will be there
