<answer>
<para>&os; does a short memory test early in the boot
process. This test usually only takes several seconds,
however if the system has many 10s or 100s of gigabytes
of memory it can take up to a few minutes. This test
can be disabled by setting the
<literal>hw.memtest.tests</literal> to
<literal>0</literal> in
<filename>/boot/loader.conf</filename>.</para>
