There's a wide range of options, from the expensive to the free
online stuff.  At the high end, we have:

$1300	https://www.mckusick.com/courses/introorderform.html
$1500	https://www.mckusick.com/courses/advorderform.html

At the low end, we have things like:

	http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html
	http://www.vsi.ru/library/Programmer/fbsdkern/


You could also look at the "Blue Prints" column at the web site

There is also a "new users" section there:

And there is always the mailing list archives:
