Usually, the ROM does very good memory checks (just think so... look at the
time for the mem check :-).

Not completely right: I do netboot via a DELQA qbus network card. Why should
someone try to cross-compile ? The 4000/300 is very fast, it's a real fun to
run thru "make". full kernel compile needs about 3 hours, but during the
development, you only need to recompile some files, so it takes about 5-10
minutes for the next kernel.

I never tried, i just enter "date blah..." after booting :-)
