You mean the thingy that starts execution of a file by setting up
process memory and remapping the text and initialized data segments into
the low part of the address space and setting up the user stack?

Aside from a brief mention in McKusick's and Neville-Neil's book on
FreeBSD, I haven't found anything on it. I think this is a case of RTFS.
