After much fiddling about and suggestions from a number of people, I'm
now in a position where I've managed to boot an install floppy on the
T21, but only by disabling usb and ethernet.  I've partitioned the
disk and got to the point where I need to access the network, since
without the network I can't access the install image.  The machine has
no FAT partition.  Below is the plan9.ini that I'm using.

*nomp=1
distname=plan9
partition=new
nobootprompt=local!/bzroot
#console=0
*noetherprobe=1
*nousbprobe=1
#pccard0=disabled
#ether0=type=589E media=10BaseT
monitor=xga
vgasize=1024x768x8
mouseport=ps2
bootfile=fd0!dos!9pcflop.gz
installurl=http://10.0.0.1/

Any further suggestions on how to get any further along on the
Thinkpad?

        Adrian
