Finally wrote a small C program to convert memtest86.bin to a tagged
image. It

1. Loads the first 512 bytes of the tagged image to 9320:0000 (arbitrary)
2. Start address is 9000:02000
3. The first 512 bytes (boot sector) is loaded to 0x00090000 - probably
   superfluous
4. Next 2048 bytes are loaded to 0x00090200 (starting point)
5. The "kernel" part is loaded to 0x00010000

I checked this image with disnbi and it reports correct values. Didn't
test it yet. Will let you all know the progress once I test it in the
evening.

Thanks for all who helped me this out.
