- dmesg -k
- /proc/cpuinfo
- dpkg -l...

Far easier would be to just install onto external, bootable media, such
as
a USB stick. Guidance can be found in the FAQ at:

Any recognized devices that do not have drivers will be noted as "not
configured" in OpenBSD's dmesg output.
If you don't want to install or don't have bootable external mass
storage, the
installation system can be booted from any valid media and used without
running
the install script. However, the installation system uses the RAMDISK
kernel
which does not contain the full complement of drivers found in the
GENERIC kernels.
