Unix in a Nutshell: http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596100292/ Learning the Unix Operating System http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596002619/ Absolute FreeBSD http://nostarch.com/abs_bsd2.htm None of these are going to match DragonFly exactly, but they will get you started. The Absolute FreeBSD book is probably the closest match, and an enjoyable read.
