Yes, I know about that lets assume that I visit a FreeBSD box and
that /sys is not there.

Nice listing but there is no association between the nice output of
lsdev and /dev:
lsdev -cv
# This listing automatically generated by lsdev(1)
1: # CPU cpu0
2: controller scbus0
3: controller isa0
4: sc0 at isa? tty (id 8) port 0x60 irq 1
5: ed0 at isa? net (id 14) port 0x240 irq 9 iomem 0xd4000 iosiz 16384
6: ed1 at isa? net (id 15) port 0x280 irq 5 iomem 0xd8000 iosiz 8192
7: sio0 at isa? tty (id 9) port 0x3f8 irq 4
8: sio1 at isa? tty (id 10) port 0x2f8 irq 3
9: sio2 at isa? tty (id 11) port 0x3e8 irq 5
10: lpt0 at isa? tty (id 12) port 0x378 irq 7
11: lpt1 at isa? tty (id 13) port ?

16: aha0 at isa? bio (id 6) port 0x330 drq 5
17: aic0 at isa? bio (id 7) port 0x340 irq 11
18: npx0 at isa? (id 16) port 0xf0
19: chip0 at pci0:0
20: chip1 at pci0:7
21: vga0 at pci0:11 # int a irq 10
22: ahc0 at pci0:12 # int a irq 11
23: sd0 at SCSI bus 0:0:0 (ready) (open)
24: cd0 at SCSI bus 0:2:0
25: sd1 at SCSI bus 0:6:0 (ready) (open)
I guess that is too hard for a program to figure out the association of
a device driver with the major and minor number in /dev :>
Also not to mention that loadable modules are not listed...
I was thinking more along the lines of :
25: sd1 at SCSI bus 0:6:0 (ready) (open)
4, 65546 /dev/sd1
4, 8 /dev/sd1a
4, 9 /dev/sd1b
....
You see as more drivers and/or loadable modules get added to FreeBSD
it becomes rather nice to issue a single command to figure out what
is on the system.
Enjoy,
Amancio
