SPARC 5 memory layout w/out opening cover?

[chy at genuity.com (Chuck Young)]

stop + A?

This is rumored (strongly) to stop all processing and drop to the eeprom ROM
mode.

pray for interpreter help (?) running the memory utulity, if it exists.

Then type "go" to resume.

Um, I am winging it here bigtime.

I'm sorry I forgot the specifics, but I'm almost positive there's a
command for that in the Sparc's BIOS.  It's been too long, but you press
the key to drop down into the BIOS and run the memory test.
