This is a problem with the thinkpad BIOS that I have not had the time to be
able to track down.  It would *appear* to be that the BIOS does not do 
int 13 handling on boot cdroms, and the boot/loader makes much use of that 
for loading the kernel and drivers.

I am, however, out of my league on this.  Some feedback from the boot/loader
team would be greatly appreciated in this. *hint* *hint*
