This seems to be due to the incompatibility of bzImage kernel images with the Thinkpads. I had to resort to the 1.1 install floppies when installing 1.2 on a Thinkpad 560. If you get someone to give you a custom zImage kernel image, then you can replace the bzImage on the disk (It is my understanding that MSDOG format is used on the recue disks). Unfortunately, I do not have access to the 560 anymore.
