[Solved] systemd-boot and memtest86+

I'm trying to get a memtest menu item with systemd-boot.

I ripped 2 files off a Suse install, memtest86+.bin and memtest86+.elf. Figured one goes on the linux line and the other goes on the initrd line. Swapped it around but neither one works. Here's the conf-file:

title		Memtest86+
linux		/memtest86+.elf
initrd		/intel-ucode.img
initrd		/memtest86+.bin
#options		root=PARTUUID=0b017073-c443-4a7b-9dcf-f3b5e82f7d31 rw i915.preliminary_hw_support=1 elevator=cfq quiet

Don't think it needs a root or other options but I'm not sure so I commented it out.

Any ideas on how to get this to work with systemd-boot?

Thanks!
