Besides lspci and lsusb, I like lshw.
sys-apps/lshw
From the man page:
lshw is a small tool to extract detailed information on the hardware
configuration of the machine. It can report exact memory configuration,
firmware version, mainboard configuration, CPU version and speed, cache
configuration, bus speed, etc. on DMI-capable x86 or IA-64 systems and
on some PowerPC machines (PowerMac G4 is known to work).
It currently supports DMI (x86 and IA-64 only), OpenFirmware device
tree (PowerPC only), PCI/AGP, CPUID (x86), IDE/ATA/ATAPI, PCMCIA (only
tested on x86), SCSI and USB.
How much am I supposed to trim from the quoted article???

Is there a way of determining the board type, other than opening the box
and removing the card. I don't have it's original box.
Thanks.

What model initio board do you have? There are two
different initio drivers, and the one called "initio" is for the 9100
series chipset. It's possible loading the wrong chipset could lock up
the pc, or at least the console. When the console locks up, I like to go
to a different terminal (pc) and see if I can ping the frozen pc. If so,
then try to ssh in (assuming ssh is running) and see if I can shut it
down remotely.
To answer your question, try lspci (ls for the PCI bus). If the output
isn't verbose enough to give you the detail you need, try lspci -v (for
verbose). It's a /very/ handy program to keep in your virtual toolbox,
particularly if you don't fancy opening up your box all the time to read
stuff off of the various chips and cards, let alone that even doing that
wouldn't directly give you the same level of detail that lspci -v does.
lspci is part of pciutils, in case you don't already have it merged, but
you likely do, at least if you have either alsa-utils or hotplug merged.
FWIW, there's also a parallel lsusb, part of (no surprise) usbutils. =8^)
