I believe you already solved the problem, but anyway here is my solution: I installed linux on Thinkpad 380xd, the only appropriate way was to use loadlin, and boot disk from Win95 running in Dos mode. As disk was fat16, there was actually no problem. Booting form diskette or LILO failed in the same way you discribed. Sasha.
