Hardware Serial Numbers under FreeBSD

[Dan Mahoney, System Admin]

Hey all, I'm trying to create an inventory script for systems that will be 
loaded via net-boot.  I was wondering if there was any useful way to 
obtain the serial number of devices like the hard drives, processor, 
and/or motherboard.  (as far as I can guess, those are the only things 
likely to store a serial number in a machine-readable format).

I'm scripting in perl, but of course have nothing against making system 
calls to get at the low-level stuff.

Please email me, as I'm not subscribed.
