the Memtest86 program, when the usual Memtest86+ crashes or is unable
to complete tests.
The first step here is to compile and install this hack which allows
us to use arrow keys (yes, arrow keys) to navigate the F11 boot menu:
1.
From the iDRAC home page, click Launch under Virtual Console
Preview
2.
In the console window menu, click Virtual Media then Launch
Virtual Media
3.
Click Add Image and select an .ISO or .IMG file
4.
Click the checkbox under Mapped for the new image file
5.
Leaving that window open, bring the console back into focus
6.
(Re)boot the machine, pressing F11 to bring up the boot menu
7.
Choose Virtual CD if you mapped an .ISO image, or Virtual Floppy
in the case of a 1.44MB floppy image
Now, it's possible that an annoying bug will manifest itself at this
stage: because the Java applet was conceived to work with an old X11
version, the keycodes for the arrow keys may not work. Without these
keys, choosing an alternative boot option cannot be done.
