This problem is still there.
If / and /usr are in separate partitions and you e.g. run grub in
graphics mode, 'root' is set to the partition where /usr is, so
memtest86 fails to boot.
memtest86 definitely needs to set its partition in the menu entry, a
single 'linux16 /boot/memtest86.bin' is not enough for all cases.
I think this bug is important since it prevents memtest86 from working
at all under some scenarios.
I've tested the patch sent by Vasilis and it appears to work fine:
