[OpenIndiana-discuss] Memory Test in OpenIndiana

[Michelle]

Apparently there is an issue with later versions of Memtest86 on the
N54L motherboards.

Even a direct download of Memtest on a live USB key failed to boot.

However, I found a thread that suggested getting the Ubuntu 18.04
version and running Memtest on that version. So far... so running.
