If you have slink on CD, the second disk boots with the Tecra disk image.
Otherwise, you're looking for a file resc1440-tecra.bin which you can
rawrite or dd to a floppy.
Using the Tecra disk worked when I was installing hamm on my 480CDT while
using the regular one didn't, so I think this should fix your boot
problem.
(For the curious, Tecra is a line of laptops from Toshiba. Apparently the
problem that prevents Tecra laptops from booting also prevents other
recent Toshiba laptops from booting, too.)
Good luck!
