Try:
menuentry "HDT" {
  linux16 /memdisk
  initrd16 /hdt-0.3.5-pre1.img
}

MEMDISK isn't a real linux kernel and doesn't go to 32-bit mode in the same way
as the linux kernel.

When you use linux in grub2, it won't run the 16 bit code of the linux kernel,
which will set the CPU mode to 32 bit again (so grub2 should be a bit faster),
like grub and syslinux did/do.
