>Description:

The ISO produced by the sysutils/memtestplus package does not work.

This is with memtestplus-5.01nb6 built on a NetBSD 9.2/amd64 system.
The ISO does boot and display the Memtest86+ 5.01 screen, but the
tests do not start, and the following messages are displayed:

  ==> Press F1 to enter Fail-Safe Mode <==
  ==> Press F2 to force Multi_Threading (SMP) <==

Pressing F1 or F2 does not successfully start the tests, either.

I'm seeing the same behavior both when booting the ISO from a CD-R on
a physical HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF and in qemu.

The ISO in https://www.memtest.org/download/v7.00/mt86plus_7.00_64.iso.zip
works.

>How-To-Repeat:

  cd /usr/pkgsrc/sysutils/memtestplus
  make install
  qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom /usr/pkg/mdec/memtestplus.iso
