The canonical one is "The FreeBSD Developers' Handbook"
(http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/index.html)

Also, see the FreeBSD Documentation pages for information on paper
books. http://www.freebsd.org/publish.html 

While a bit out of date, Kirk McKusick and George Neville-Neil's "The
Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System", ISBN
4-7561-4679-1 is still probably the most detailed presentation on the OS
internals. Based on FreeBSD 5.2, it is the modern kernel and driver
design, but it is still nearly 5 years old.
