Subject:   memory test off of a 'DISK-ON-KEY' device ... ?

I'm trying to run some tests on a new server that I'm putting together, 
and would like to run some memory tests ... 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 ...
