That kind of nitty gritty is mostly in a few books and lots of e-messages in archives. Searching this ML (at least) for BSD and book(s) should find lists of the few books. The old 4.4 BSD-lite (?) documents (at freebsd.org) and the book "The Design and Implementation of the 4.4BSD Operating System" by McKusick et al, have a lot of detail, but it's hard to know what's changed since they were written. A great resource is http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search as is http://www.google.com/advanced_search .
