Multi-boot CD with a Memory tester??
« on: October 04, 2002, 11:55:29 AM »
in my quest to make just about everything available in a multi boot cd i can accross a good memory tester. located at:
http://www.memtest86.com/#download0

Now i\'m trying to find a way to get this memory tester to be able to boot off my multi-boot cd rom. to create my multi-boot cd rom i used the instructions listed at www.tech-hints.com and then find other programs i can put in with the multi-boot.

any suggestions would be very helpful.

All ya have to do is copy memtest.bin to whereever you load your image files from, and add this to diskemu.cmd

:start
cls
print F1=For Help
print F2=Anything Else you want
print ==========
print Setup Menu
print ==========
print a. Memtest
print Esc) Boot from hard disk...
print
print Well, pick one already....
print you only got 10 seconds...
print tick, tock .....

:mainkey
; timeout is 10 seconds, default key is escape
getkey 10 esc
onkey a goto mem
; When no key found...
goto mainkey
;
:mem
run memtest.bin
; when run has failed
print
print Failed to run \"MEMTEST.BIN\", hit any key.
getkey
goto start


Also, make sure, if you copy and paste to take all trailing spaces out or it WONT WORK.  I load TONS of extras, the 911 cd, blue con pro 4, I am gonna add this also :-) Hope this works for you, worked for me, but I use a diff version of diskemu.cmd

Sorry, forgot one thing, I am going with the instructions to use the DOS build of memtest, if you want to use the linux, I really dont think itll be any different, but if you need to know how to add that one, I could research it for you.  I am also gonna put on there the smallest version of linux tomsrtbt.img :-)  you can find it at Barts site www.nu2.nu and then click on Bootcd, scroll to isolinux and its somewhere in there. :-)  well, here is the link direct to the site anyways ...
