Hello,
I am looking for a way to add memtest86 to the FreeBSD bootloader so that my techs
 can easily test RAM when needed.
>From what I understand, the memtest86 build script makes two objects: 
1) a linux-kernel-alike image.
2) an ELF object.                                                                                                                                                                                  
Thing is, I'm unfamiliar with the FBSD loader and how to add items to it.  I'm                                                                                                               
guessing maybe if the memtest ELF object is in /boot it can be specified from                                                                                                                
the loader prompt with /boot/memtest86 ? 

Anyone have any insite?
