Have you tried the LDP? There are pointers to pages that should help. I
would suspect that you'll need to use "floppy=thinkpad" to start.

A CD does not have a FAT file system. A hard drive can have a FAT
partition. You could use DOS or something else to copy the CD files to
your hard drive and install from there.

Once there, find the Laptop-HOWTO

The Linux on Laptops page:

Looks like there is no specific page for the 360CSE, so you'll have to
muddle through with one for ThinkPad's in general.

Maybe you can make a page for other 360CSE owners.

Best of luck,
