| Memory diagnostics are best run standalone (as with memtest86), IMHO.

That's fine, but if one looks at memtest86, one feels it's not
terribly NetBSD-friendly. The web page supplies a Linux source-package
and a DOS binary. Optimally, it would be nice if someone did a port of
the source package to NetBSD, and made sure that it played
sufficiently nicely with our boot loader that it could be booted from
the biosboot prompt (I presume that's feasable).
