I found memtest86, but it runs on floppies, which doesn't help me, since I don't have a floppy drive on this thing :( I've been doing my BIOS updates using a bootable USB Disk-on-Key device, and am wondering if anyone knows of a way of either getting memtest86 to "write" to this device *or* something else I can run that would do similar? I have FreeBSD 4.11 already installed, so if there is something *good* that I can just install from ports and run on the command line, that is cool too ... Thanks ... ---- Marc G.
