    Hi!

    Does anyone know a program for FreeBSD (w/o GUI) which would be able to display information about current hardware which is installed in the box?

    Thanks!

    How about something like this:
    Code:
    #as root:
    pciconf -lv

    okay. :doh:

    but is there any way to see information about the motherbard? Because pciconf lists only devices on the motherboards buss.

    Okay, just for reference, the solver of this thread:

    Code:
    dmesg | less
    pciconf -lv | less
    sysctl -a | grep ^hw | less
    sysctl -a | grep ^dev | less

    Note that instead of piping to less to scroll through massive amounts of data, you can also pipe to grep in order to look for a certain string. For example:
    Code:
    dmesg | grep mem
    
    ...would give me a list of all the lines in dmesg containing the string "mem".
