The quintisential hacker's guidebook is ``The Design and Implementation of 4.4BSD'', available cheaply from Amazon.com or your favorite bookstore. Next is the source itself :) and a tutorial at http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ddwg. Finally is the freebsd-hackers mailing list. Hope that helps, and enjoy!
