I had a similar problem; my friend's Thinkpad 365XD can't boot by cdrom,
and we were without a floppy drive. Since it came with Windows, what we
did was running some installation program (don't remember the name)
from the Debian CDs.
But since I can't reinstall anything, I'd like to hear other solutions
to this problem.
