Well, I'm not sure what lsdev and lscfg do in AIX, but the only way that
I know to list devices in FreeBSD would be `ls /dev`, but this answer
seems too simple and would probably only be meaningful if you are using
devfs.  Of course, 'less /var/run/dmesg.boot' will show you kernel
messages from bootup and this should display the devices found by
various drivers.
