My favorite is FreeBSD, An Open-Source Operating System For Your Personal
Computer, Second , Second Edition. by Annelise Anderson,  The Bit Tree
Press.  This book will start you from scratch.  It did for me.  I also used
The Complete FreeBSD by Greg Lehey.  I bellieve he has a newer book out.
mine was from Walnut Creek CDROM Books with 4 CDROMS.  A real oldie. Then go
to Absolute BSD by Michael Lucas, No Starch Press
