I'm not familiar with the redhat install cd, but a few things to try:

ls /mnt

after mounting, to see if it's actually there.  If not, there might
be problems with the floppy, or with the way you mounted it.

ldd /mnt/memtest

if it's there, to see if it has shared library problems (ldd basically
just prints out the shared libraries that it needs, and whether/where
it found them).
