Devices in Unix

How can I display the devices attached to my computer through the command line? And, how do I get information about each device listed? I'm looking to make sure that my DLT drive is recognized by the computer.

Using FreeBSD, if that helps.

Thanks!

Ok - devices! These are listed when FreeBSD boots; to call the list back type:

dmesg

Which type of device were you looking for? If you know the type, you can grep it like so:

dmesg | grep lp

this looks for devices related to the parallel port, etc.
