This seems to be closer.  Each read gets a lines worth:

    character(256) :: astring
    astring = ""
    open(11,file='/proc/cpuinfo', form="formatted" , access="stream")
    do i= 1, 10
    read(11,'(a)') astring
    print '(a)', astring
    end do
    end

I do want to look into why your approach does not work.
