X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2]

Hello all,

I would like to know where I can obtain documentation on the Kernel
structures of any of the Freeware BSD operating systems for Intel 80x86 
family.  Specifically I am looking for information on:
	Device Drivers
	Filesystem management
	System/Kernel level calls
	Memory Management, Paging and Segments

I have a similar document on the Linux kernel.
Some sources I have already looked at:

FTP Sites
gatekeeper.dec.com:/pub/BSD/FreeBSD
ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD

Web Sites
http://www.freebsd.org
http://minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au/BSD-info/BSD.html

Thanks in advance,
