Pretty common in all UNIXes, which is why projects like GNU and Linux even had a starting point what to compare themselves to.

IBM systems have the famous Red Books, but ok it isn't included.

Windows before the Internet days, when the SDK came in CD, having a MSDN subscription meant receiving a box with all documentation from Microsoft.

Inferno as Plan 9's successor also included all documentation.

Niklaus Wirth OSes for Modula-2 and Oberon, had the OS documentation as hypertext.

All Xerox PARC OSes, across Smalltalk, Interlisp-D and Mesa/Cedar had online help with the system documentation.
