I think the command 'test /memory' is wrong. I see that there is a command
called test-memory but I'm not sure how to use it. Do you have any links
so I can do a little RTFMing?

One other thing... I wrote out an OpenBSD boot floppy and it doesn't
finish loading. I get the twirling baton for a while, then it errs with
"Short Read"

I wonder if I'm pushing my luck with these ancient machines?
