would be much more useful if you could find it.
It's possible you mean msramdmp[1]? I've tried using it once and didn't
get much back, but that could be the device itself was setup to clear
RAM on boot. It's relatively easy to setup and test, just make sure you
use syslinux-3 rather than a later one...
