I'd like to help look at this. I have a ThinkPad 770 and it too exhibits
this behavior. Unfortunately it's my only laptop so I can't loan it out
but I certainly would like to help out if I can. I've got an
up-to-date -current running. What code should I look at in sys/boot and
how do I figure out where the Thinkpad BIOS puts the emulated floppy
image's disk number?
