Since the ball has already started to roll on this, I'd like to

Huzzah! Awesome work, Jason.
I was reading over the Operation document and the paragraph describing
what will populate the System Description TLV and a thought occurred
to me.
One of the components you're using to populate this TLV is SI_PLATFORM
from sysinfo. On SPARC boxen, this will produce a string akin to
"SUNW,Ultra-4" or "SUNW,Sun_Fire_T200" and so on. However, on x86,
this will always be "i386". I think that can be improved.
That's not his fault.
He's returning the same information that is available from uname.
Getting the specific box platform name, even with Solaris on Sun
x86 hardware, requires some other special command... that escapes
me at present.
