can you boot from an external and run the ram test, just to see if it completes?

I've successfully run the test in multi user mode (just a regular boot, using Terminal to launch the memtest)

I've never tried booting from an external disk in single user mode.

When the Mac boots to the verbose screen, accepting commands, but not fully booted yet -- is it booting from any specific HD yet?
