Re: apparent crashes persist.
I had no idea this was going to be this difficult!

Don't see a memtest option on grub, though I've installed memtest86+.
Evidently I have to edit the grub configuration, or use its c or e
options when booting, but I'm completely clueless on this.
lilo is currently refusing to work, details have just been posted in
a thread on debian-user. Something about trying to read from a
nonexistent device.
The floppy installation script for memtest86+ fails:
-----
* Creating msdos file system
1440+0 records in
1440+0 records out
1474560 bytes (1.5 MB) copied, 0.002501 seconds, 590 MB/s
* Installing GRUB files
Copying menu.lst
/lib/grub/i386-pc/*: No such file or directory

Could it be that it hasn't been updated for AMD64?
There's an /lib/grub/x86-64-pc directory.
Should I make the obvious change in teh script?
Should I report this as a bug?
