Finding out specs of remote FreeBSD machine

Hi all,

How would one go about finding out physical characteristics of a machine
remotely? For eg, I'd like to know what CPU a machine is running, what
HDD Model, what other devices are attached, and so on. In linux, I'd use
/proc... What do I use on FreeBSD...

Also, is there some way of finding out when a machine was first set up?
I used a find command to try to find the oldest file, but it appears to
be 1996 or so, and I'm surprised it's _that_ old... This was a file in
/usr/src somewhere. I suspect it's more likely to be the creation time
from the CVS repository... Is there any sensible way to find out this
information?

TIA
