$NetBSD: MESSAGE,v 1.3 2007/01/03 22:47:18 smb Exp $

Memtest86+ is a standalone program, it does not run within an operating
|
|
system. It has been designed to boot from a PC floppy disk. To install
|
|
Memtest86 on a floppy, insert a disk then type:
|
|
dd if=${PREFIX}/mdec/memtestplus.bin of=/dev/rfd0a conv=osync
|
|
|
|
The package also includes the ELF binary ${PREFIX}/mdec/memtestplus
|
|
that the NetBSD bootstrap can load instead of a kernel. Please see
|
|
boot(8) for details. If your ${PREFIX}/mdec directory is not on the
|
|
root filesystem you need to copy the ELF binary there first.
|
|
|
|
If you have built the optional .iso file, you can use cdrtools to
|
|
burn it to a CD.
|
|
|
|
The documentation claims that the .bin file can be booted by LILO; I have
|
|
not tested that. It can be booted via Grub.
