You are losing your proc mount point somehow between unpack.s and
buildit.s.  The /proc filesystem is required by the memory test in rc.S.

"slightly changing"?  What *exactly* did you do to setting.s and
rc.custom.gz?  Yes, you could certainly break it...

I don't think so.  I can do an unpack.s / buildit.s cycle under 1.7.118
with no problems, so it must be related to your changes, somehow...

First, make sure you are able to do:

boot tomsrtbt
mount Linux filesystem on /mnt
cd /mnt
unpack.s /dev/fd0u1722
2/usr/doc/buildit.s
cd *tomsrtbt-1.7.*
sh install.s

to recreate it with no changes...

Where are you trying to unpack it onto?  It will fail if you try to unpack
it to the default 4M tomsrtbt /tmp area.  It will also fail if you try to
unpack it to a DOS filesystem
