 Actually, I've been running into a slight problem with this too,
Linux allows on
to look at /proc/cpuinfo while the best information I seem to be able
to get from
FreeBSD is from dmesg. If it's a SMP box, you'll see the processor
make but not
speed. There has to be a userland process to view processor
information,
searching through dmesg won't always work (rollovers, etc)

 Unless there already is a userland tool to get all the CPU info for
your BSD
boxen? I found I needed this ability because I was conducting FPU
tests on
multiple platforms and ran into a problem documenting a SMP FreeBSD
submission.
