What tools are available to openindian that are designed to discover
and report on the systems hardware.

I mean besides the ever usefull 'Device driver utility'?

What I'm after currently is to see what the OS thinks of all the SATA
and SAS ports on my motherboard (mobo is part of HP xw8600)
It appears to have 14 ports in all... a mixture of sata and sas.

The `Device driver utility' reports this concerning Storage:

-------       -------       ---=---       -------       ------- 
Storage LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1068 PCI-X Fusion-MPT SAS  mpt
    Intel corp 631xESB632xESB/3100 chipset SATA IDE Controller  pci-ide
    Intel corp 631xESB632xESB IDE controller                    pci-ide
-------       -------       ---=---       -------       ------- 

I'd like to latch onto something that enumerates the individual ports
without having to monkey around and having to boot it with windows
