Mine is on 0x8b. Following some sugestions I hacked my boot/loader to look
specifically at 0x8b it didn't work. I even went so far as to force
0x8b even though the autodetect did not work... it still didn't work. I then
looked at the 1st stage boot loader as that *was* able to load boot/lo

The problem with the Thinkpad
This is a problem with the thinkpad BIOS that I have not had the time to be
able to track down. It would *appear* to be that the BIOS does not do
int 13 handling on boot cdroms, and the boot/loader makes much use of that
for loading the kernel and drivers.

I've tried to boot the ISO image (RC2) on an IBM Thinkpad, type 2621.
I get the keyboard probe, and then the >> boot prompt comes up. It
doesn't appear to be able to see the loader, and can't boot a kernel. In
a Desktop system the disc works all the way to the sysinstall menu. I'm
