Here are some of the books I found very useful:

4.4BSD Manuals from O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.  
--System Manager's Manual
--User's Reference Manual
--User's Supplementary Manual
--Programmer's Reference Manual
--Programmer's Supplementary Documents

Also, the FreeBSD WEB site http://www.freebsd.org is an excellant source
for documentation and Q&A.
