Once I had set that I had to copy the binary as:

/install/netboot/rhels6/x86_64/memtest/kernel

Then I had to touch:

/install/netboot/rhels6/x86_64/memtest/initrd.gz
/install/netboot/rhels6/x86_64/memtest/rootimg.gz

to keep nodeset happy (memtest86+ is just a single binary so those files
are not relevant at all).

Doesn't seem like a convenient replacement for the older method,
but I guess this is an unusual request.

Unfortunately after all that memtest86+ doesn't work (not surprisingly
as it's not a UEFI exe), but sadly neither do the memtest86 UEFI
binaries bootia32.efi & bootx64.efi work either.

I've validated that the node PXE's the right files, but the UEFI BIOS
just resets back to the initial POST after a second or so of reading
that file, no evidence of trying to execute it or any errors. :-(

I've confirmed with pasu that secure boot is disabled, so that shouldn't
be it:

# pasu snowy001 show SecureBootConfiguration.SecureBootis
snowy001: SecureBootConfiguration.SecureBootis=Disabled

All the best,
Chris
