: You can also get it via kenv(8) without needing any ports:

I wonder why the smbios stuff isn't exported via sysctls as well...

and this is probably a lazy vendor :)

smbios.bios.reldate="07/12/2006"
smbios.bios.vendor="American Megatrends Inc."
smbios.bios.version="P1.10"
smbios.chassis.maker="To Be Filled By O.E.M."
smbios.chassis.serial="To Be Filled By O.E.M."
smbios.chassis.tag="To Be Filled By O.E.M."
smbios.chassis.version="To Be Filled By O.E.M."
smbios.planar.maker=" "
smbios.planar.product="775i945GZ"
smbios.planar.serial=" "
smbios.planar.version=" "
smbios.socket.enabled="1"
smbios.socket.populated="1"
smbios.system.maker="To Be Filled By O.E.M."
smbios.system.product="775i945GZ"
smbios.system.serial="To Be Filled By O.E.M."
smbios.system.uuid="00020003-0004-0005-0006-000700080009"
smbios.system.version="To Be Filled By O.E.M."
