I'm amazed this works - I'd expect the kernel text segment to get

I think the initramfs may get clobbered when the 'memtest' parameter is
set. But that may be expected behaviour...
It's not the expected behaviour. The initramfs is clobbered because memtest
runs before initramfs memory is reserved. The patch below (not even compile
tested) should help. Now, for some reason the reservation of initrd does
not happen on SUN3, which is probably wrong, so maybe we can drop that
#ifndef CONFIG_SUN3 before #ifdef CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD.
BTW, for the short time I've been a bit involved in m68k I've spotted quite
a few things that seem broken on SUN3. Does anybody still run recent
kernels on it? I really doubt they boot on SUN3...
