Woohoo! Success! Ok - I finally got my A20p to hibernate - I zapped the
partition, recreated it with mkfs.msdos -F 16, set the partition type
to 06 (FAT 16) and flagged it as bootable [didn't work as a hidden
partition type], Booted off the phdisk floppy, and selected 'Create file',
And this time hibernate worked.

I'm not sure what went wrong before, but it only ever gave me the choice of
creating a partition, not a file.
