The "Notes on the Plan 9 kernel source" is a great resource -- for
someone familiar with operating system internals who wants a feel for
the "Plan 9 Way™"; the "Introduction to Operating Systems
Abstractions" is closer to the level of Kernighan & Pike. There's
plenty of room for the book I suggested between the other two.
