by Even though IBM does not support Linux on the ThinkPad 350, it can run
on it. I had the SLS version 1.03 and LILO 1.10 installed and had
X mono driver working with the Trackpoint II set up as a PS/2 mouse.
LILO lets you enter HDD parameters. To find out the HDD parameters
do the following (using DEBUG under DOS):
1) Type 'debug' at a DOS command line & press enter. Should see '-' prompt.
2) Type 'a 100' & press enter
3) Type 'int 13' & press enter
4) Type 'int 3' & press enter
5) Press enter again to get back to '-' prompt
6) Type 'r ax' & press enter
7) Type '2500' & press enter
8) Type 'r bx' & press enter
9) Type '200' & press enter
10) Type 'r dx' & press enter
11) Type '80' & press enter
12) Type 'g=100' & press enter
13) Type 'd 200' & press enter
14) Location 202 should be LSB of cylinder count, 203 should be MSB
15) Location 206 should be LSB of head count, 207 should be MSB
16) Location 20C should be LCB of sector count, 20D should be MSB
Something like
xxxx:0200 5A 04 DD 03 00 00 0F 00-00 00 00 00 22 00 00 00 .............
would give cylinders=03DD, heads=000F, & sectors=0022
All values are in hex. Hope this helps.
