Re: Mac OS X / FreeBSD ASM Resources

I'm having trouble locating documentation (preferably a book) for x86

Does anyone know any good books that will help me on my way? ASM does
not seem particularly well documented on Unix systems (I guess given
the historical relience on C).

Any information is appreciated.
