IBM 365XD won't boot
David;
I don't know anything about your machine but that isn't one of the
"Thinkpad" IBMs is it?
In absence of specific knowledge I would suggest that you look at
the "Tecra" disks. Also I note that there are some note about
Thinkpads (some sort of boot command line option required).
I don't know if this will help but maybe it will give you a lead as
to where to start looking.
