Here's a curly question:- How can you detect the CPU type (make, model,
and rated speed) on a running FreeBSD server without using dmesg?
I can't shut this machine off to check BIOS messages, and neither can I
check dmesg (it seems that a pile of network dmesg logging has rotated
the kernel initialization log part off into the sunset).
Is there a way to check CPU processor make and model type at all now?
I'm starting to wish that FreeBSD would save the kernel initialization
log in a place where it couldn't get lost (sort of like /proc in Linux
but without the fanciness that entails)... or perhaps there is such a
Valhalla in FreeBSD and I can't see it for the forest?
You may try:
# less /var/run/dmesg.boot
The boot-stage dmesg is always saved there.
Also, try to use linprocfs(5) and mount_linprocfs(8). The linux-style
hardware description is there.
