O'Reilly and Associates puts out a series of books on 4.4BSD operating
systems.  The books are not targeted specifically towards PC-based BSDs
and they're rather terse, not for beginners in my opinion.  The best
specific manual is the FreeBSD Hanbook, which can be found at
http://www.freebsd.org.  It details FreeBSD system administration.  And
naturally, generic Unix books are useful on FreeBSD.
