Better start with some books on general OS design. For example,
Tannenbaum's or something like this. The 4.4BSD book goes into
details expecting that you have the high-level knowledge of things,
so without that knowledge it would be very difficult to read.
Another prerequisite would be a book on general Unix systems
programming, and by the same reason: reading about how things are
implemented is much easier if you already know what these things 
being implemented are.
