There exist to dos programs that can read the passed MEMDISK arguments:
- mdiskchk.com: in Syslinux archive at dosutil/mdiskchk.com
- getargs.com (based on mdiskchk.com): http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/Accessing_MEMDISK_arguments_from_DOS
They probably can be converted to a com or com32 module.
