How to access Bios like info on mac?

So, I successfully wiped my old MacBook Pro and its all set up nice a pretty for the next owner with cool Mac OS X intro etc. BUT I forgot to record all the specs for listing it- DOH! I'm sure there's a fairly simple way to get that info before Mac OS X starts. Just need a little helping hand:)

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

I guess not. macs have used EFI (a successor to BIOS) for several years and I don't know any way of accessing it, sorry.
but I'm sure if you google your macbook type you will find the specs. afaik, there is a table with all mac specs on wikipedia

If you goto http://www.apple.com/uk/support/ and type your serial number in the search box it will show you the model and specs for your Mac.

Hope this helps

If you don't know or don't have access to your serial number, you can also get all the info on this site:
