If all you need is a memory tester you could also try memtest86:

This works as a replacement of a linux kernel so memdisk isn't involved. Works
well with sys/pxelinux.

You can force memdisk to treat this as a floppy image, with the 'floppy' parameter.
Everything different from standard floppy sizes (1.44; 2.88 MB etc.) is considered
a hard disk.
