I recommend this book:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0201702452

This book is very good if you want to understand how the FreeBSD kernel 
works. It discusses various important parts of the kernel in detail. It 
is less suitable for practical application; I suggest to read kernel 
source code. ;-)
