Hi, I'm looking for a very simple way to generate PCID in an x86 machinevery early in the bootup (when root file system is mounted). the varience should be enough to distinguish between various desktps, laptops and motherboards. I'm not looking for absolute unique IDs (around 8 characters).
Currently I came up : /usr/X11/bin/scanpci | /usr/bin/digest -a md5 | /usr/bin/cut -c 1-8 .. that normally works and would be useful enough, but it throws an error when used evry early at startup ( digest: failed PKCS11 CKR_GENERAL_ERROR or some such. Adding a 'cryptoadm start' before thid did not help : /dev/cryptoadm not found) iostat seems to be another option, but I feel is not very varied. Any suggestions, methods?
