Determine the motherboard/chipset type on FreeBSD box

Question

I need to know what chipset / motherboard type for a FreeBSD box. Is there a quick way to do that without ports ?

Thanks

Answer 1

pciconf -lv will give a list of the PCI devices in the system. It's not a great way to read chipset information and may return very little usable information, at any rate it will be in cryptic form. The dmidecode port would be much preferred, but pciconf is part of the base OS.

Answer 2

dmidecode should do the trick. actually all the tricks :)
