I've got a Thinkpad 750, 2 pc card slots, no cdrom, only a mere
486SL/33 CPU, and 8meg of RAM, and i'm trying to install a copy
of 3.3-RELEASE on it to replace win3.11.  Since the thinkpad
uses an odd keyboard of some sort, i give syscons the 0x2 flag,
which fixed the keyboard one time (the only time i got it to
boot correctly).  Anyways, i've tried the standard installation
floppies, and the pccard floppies, neither would get past the
"Probing devices, please wait (...)" dialog, it just hangs there,
and will not accept any keyboard commands or anything like that.
This problem previously happened to me on a set of installation
floppies that didn't have FPU emulation in the kernel on my
486sx/25, but, 3.3-RELEASE is supposed to have it, so, I'm sure
that can't be the problem, any answers would be greatly
appreciated.. :)
