Our production team here at iXsystems tags out systems with serial numbers t=
hat are visible from FreeBSD with dmidecode.

It was recently brought to my attention that they boot systems into DOS/EFI t=
o do this.

Does anyone know of a way to write various SMBIOS values from within FreeBSD=
?

Thanks,

Josh Paetzel=
