RE: debian on IBM Thinkpad iseries (P3-500)
I thought nate said there wasn't a floppy drive? Otherwise I saw prior
posts explaining using a win98 boot disk to get to the cdrom, then
loading the kernel successfully for installation. <--might help.

I've got access to a Gateway laptop that won't boot off the normal
routes, but it will boot off a floppy made with the idepci kernel
(http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/i
mages-1.44/).
So you might try a different kernel flavor.
