OBP can do a reasonable memory test with: diag-level Specifies the level or type of diagnostics that are executed. Default is max. * off - No testing. * min - Basic tests are run. * max - More extensive tests might be run, depending on the device. Memory is extensively checked. http://www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/hardware/docs/html/817-6957-10/Sebring-DiagsOn.html http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/SPARC-HOWTO-14.html -- Sten Spans "There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in."
