Boot Memtest86+ from PXE

Download current binary from site memtest.org. Now current version is 5.31b.

Extract file (in my case memtest86+-5.31b.bin).

Rename it and place somewhere in TFTP server:

mv /tmp/memtest86+-5.31b.bin /data/tftpboot/networkboot/memtest86+-5.31b

as in previous posts my TFTP root is /data/tftpboot and I place all files in networkboot directory.

Add menu entry in pxelinux.cfg/default or as in my examples in pxelinux.cfg/4c4c4544-0042-4410-8053-b2c04f43334a (these magic numbers are my test PC UUID):

LABEL Memtest86-5.31
MENU LABEL Memtest86+ 5.31b
KERNEL /networkboot/memtest86+-5.31b
