I believe that's correct.  The only FreeBSD-specific book (that's decently
current) in existence is "Installing and Running FreeBSD" by Greg Lehey.
This is usually because 1) FreeBSD follows 4.4BSD pretty closely and 2)
the Handbook, FAQ, and this list usually cover the area in between.

Quite so.  Very good book.  'TCP/IP Network Administration' is also good
for budding net admins.  There is a booklist on www.freebsd.org under
Documents with isbn's.
