Make a copy of ram into a file

[gsfanatic]

So I have an interesting problem that I'm working with. I want to write a startup script that would take a snapshot of the ram and store it into a file so I could see what the starting memory was set to. Does anyone have any advice for how to go about doing that?

How about a little bit of Google?

Much appreciated. I've spent a few days searching, but I apparently used the wrong phrases. Bah, so it goes.
