         sysctl hw | more

also:

         sysctl vm.vmtotal

and:

         pciconf -lv

Or, if you really want Linux's procfs:

         mkdir -p /compat/linux/proc
         mount -t linprocfs linproc /compat/linux/proc
         cat /compat/linux/proc/cpuinfo

I wouldn't mount it as /proc, since FreeBSD has a procfs of its own.  See
the procfs and linprocfs man pages for more information.
