Hi! > > I've been asking around for weeks, and from what I get, the only book for > FreeBSD is the one you have. (I don't mean the only good one, I mean the > only one in existence.) Some people recommend various BSD4.4 books, but > the ones I've found are little more than a hard copy of the man pages. > > One other book that has been frequently recommended to me is "UNIX System > Administration Handbook" by Evi Nemeth, et.al. 2nd edition.

Its called: The Design and implementation of the BSD 4.3 Operating System I forgot the author. Again - I don't know how much the FreeBSD we are using differs from BSD 4.3 but this book will give you a very good and detailed understanding of the kernel algorithms thus you'll undertand kernel error messages like "data modified on freelist [...]" (this one keeps popping up on my system BTW - I understand it more or less, but I can't fix it ;-)))) greetings, Leon Aaron Kaplan.
