I've tried it, but to no avail.  Actually, I think the newer thinkpads
exclusively use a FAT or FAT32 partition to store a file called
"save2dsk.bin".  In other words, instead of using partition type a0, it
just looks for (at least, I'm guessing...) any FAT partition - and maybe
NTFS, and also maybe "hidden" FAT.

So just try a vfat formatted FAT32 partition, and you should be fine...
