Re: Open BSD commands
Hi. When I try doing sysctl on hw.vendor and hw.product I receive a message of sysctl: second level name vendor in hw.vendor is invalid and sysctl: second level name product in hw.product is invalid. Does this mean syctl is unable to retrieve this information or the information is not present?

Re: Open BSD commands
No, I double checked the commands and they are typed correctly. I still receive the messages I mentioned below. On Thu, Jun 29, 2006 at 08:19:32AM -0600, Adam Douglas wrote: Hi.

Your hardware vendor etc. simply isn't detected (yet). No need to worry. To see whats available about your hardware, type 'sysctl hw'.
