If your box supports IPMI you'll see a similar line in dmesg.

Great, now how does that help me?
The driver retrieves ipmi readings and publishes them via the
sysctl interface.
Here is the output of a Dell PowerEdge 2650:
# sysctl hw.sensors
hw.sensors.0=ipmi0, ESM Frt I/O Temp, OK, temp, 24.00 degC / 75.20
degF
hw.sensors.1=ipmi0, ESM Riser Temp, OK, temp, 26.00 degC / 78.80 degF
hw.sensors.2=ipmi0, ESM CPU 1 Temp, OK, temp, 26.00 degC / 78.80 degF
hw.sensors.3=ipmi0, ESM MB Bat Volt, OK, volts_dc, 3.18 V
This is what makes OpenBSD so great. Have you ever had the
displeasure of working with Dell's IPMI support for Linux? OpenBSD's
IPMI support appears to be trivially simple to work with. I'm
already looking forward to 3.9. :)
Thank you!!!
