First, install sysutils/freeipmi, then try it by this command:
# bmc-info
If it don't work, or loop forever, please install
dmidecode (sysutils/dmidecode) then give us the output from
it for the type entry 38 (IPMI Device Information).
An example of such entry is:
Handle 0x002B
DMI type 38, 18 bytes.
IPMI Device Information
Interface Type: KCS (Keyboard Control Style)
Specification Version: 1.5
I2C Slave Address: 0x10
NV Storage Device: Not Present
Base Address: 0x0000000000000CA8 (I/O)
Register Spacing: 32-bit Boundaries
