I'll maybe get brave and mess with the BIOS a little later.


Meanwhile, I've got the machine up and installed for i386, the 9500 is
working, all the disks are good, got the two 80GB boot drive mirrored
without too much trouble, got a 3.2TB zpool set up that I'm starting to
mess around with.

Is there any tool in FreeBSD that can be used to retrieve cpuinfo?  On
any of my Linux boxen I'd just cat /proc/cpuinfo, but if there's an
equivalent on FreeBSD to that or, say, prtconf/prtdiag, I've yet to find it.
