            Bug ID: 250728
           Summary: Filling smbios manufacturer and family string
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---

patch filling manufacturer and family smbios field

bhyve is not reporting smbios.system.maker neither smbios.system.family: It
currently uses the standard method of one space character.
But reporting this non-visible character create not-so-funny debugging sess=
ion
with tools parsing those field.


So, to prevent returning this non-visible character my proposal is to impro=
ve
bhyve to return those strings:
smbios.system.family=3D"Virtual Machine"
smbios.system.maker=3D"BHYVE"

For information, Amazon Instances are reporting:
smbios.system.family=3D"Default string"
smbios.system.maker=3D"Amazon EC2"

and VirtualBox VMs:
smbios.system.family=3D"Virtual Machine"
smbios.system.maker=3D"innotek GmbH"
