Memdisk is a utility from the syslinux project which allows
a bootloader to set up a ramdisk image of a floppy or
hard disk. It allows us to boot, for example, DOS from
a virtual floppy, which is very useful for maintaining
machines we have here. Syslinux treats memdisk as a
Linux kernel and the disk image as a ramdisk. Grub sees
memdisk as a linux kernel, but if we attempt to boot
it with an image as initrd, it just hangs. Samples
can be provided on request.
