even more optimistically, that assumes there's something useful stored in 
smbios.chassis.version. often there isn't...
 	smbios.chassis.version="Chassis Version"
 	smbios.chassis.version="To Be Filled By O.E.M."
 	smbios.chassis.version="N/A"

really, the examples above are why i'm trying to collect the output of 
kenv... to see what kind of garbage i'm likely to find, or even if the 
garbage can even be described as "likely" (which is becoming doubtful).
