      I don't know of any way to automatically do it, but if you are at the console
you can hit ESC during the memory test and it will skip it.

I just tried a reboot on one of our pre-production F740's,
and the
    	NFS client (a Solaris machine) saw an NFS outage of 1m16s.
Granted,
    	this doesn't take into account a savecore, and I'm not sure how
to
    	simulate that.  It would be nice to have a firmware setting to
disable
    	the boot up memory scan and save another 10 or 15 seconds.
