   /usr/adm/messages and dmesg are no good as general cases, as syslog may

Agreed.

   Not everyone has access to /dev/mem or /dev/kmem so those are out.  And
   I have a prejudice against setuid programs anyway.

Another good point.

   So.... why not use devinfo?  Like this...

Here's a good reason:
    (idcrisis) 22% /usr/etc/devinfo
    devinfo: devinfo not available on kernel architecture sun4
    (yet).
    (idcrisis) 23% 

You do write a mean shell script though ;-)
