BTW: For
non-SGI literate folks: "hinv" is a command to the SGI PROM monitor
or IRIX which lists the hardware inventory of an SGI system.
If there are equivalents in other systems, what are they? I guess that
is the space where UNIX != UNIX != UNIX.
I don't know what hinv displays exactly, but dmesg will give a lot of
hardware information (specifically the boot messages) on a number of
Unixy things.
AIX, of course, has to be contrary and use things like lsdev.
