Sure, I've got precisely the same configuration.  You just create a FAT16
partition, and then run the IBM floppy which creates the hibernation file
for you and sets it up.  Since I have the same amount of RAM as you do, it
may be that I could just send you my hibernation file.  I just checked, and
there's only one file named save2dsk.bin.  Creating the IBM floppy is a bit
of a pain, since you have to download and run a windows binary in order to
create it.  :(
