This boot disk (Philips CD-R80 40x) for some reason would not boot in the 
Thinkpad 770E (copied too fast?) but Ultimate Boot CD (on a cheap CD-R 
copied a while ago maybe on another computer) offers five DOS boot disks. 
LZ-DOS had various choices including 'clean' boot which was instant, to 
a:, thence to non-bootable C: where loadlin worked (using it now).

You need to sit there while it is booting and hit Enter, arrow up to DOS 
boot disks, down to LZ-DOS and down again to clean.  I will learn to make 
my own boot disk.  Syslinux works from boot CD, maybe so does LILO.
