I usually refer to
The Design and Implementation of the 4.4 BSD Operating System
(Addison Weslay)
As with all these books about operating systems under development, they
can never be completely up to date. The OS is a moving target. So the
book I recommend above is a good start, but it certainly doesn't cover
the latest design decisions of the various BSD development teams.
