There will be a new version of this book out fairly soon (but don't
hold your breath).  It's by Kirk McKusick alone, and it will be titled
The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System.

As with all these books about operating systems under development, they 
can never be completely up to date.  The OS is a moving target.  So the 
book I recommend above is a good start, but it certainly doesn't cover 
the latest design decisions of the various BSD development teams.
