As others have said, FreeBSD's /proc doesn't give you cpuinfo or the other
metadata that Linux provides, but it shouldn't be completely empty. A line
like this in /etc/fstab should be enough to get it working:
proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
You should get a directory under /proc for every process on the system,
with a bunch of files under each one. Try man procfs for the details.
Cheers,
Scott
