Hmm, this should work. Really, you need to boot from a DOS. Or, if you
have the ,,Thinkpad Configuration Utility'' for WinXP/NT etc, you can
also create the hfile from within your windows installation - if you
have one onto your Thinkpad. The WinXP-Versions of ps2.exe are available
from the IBM website.

This was - if I'm right - mentioned several times on this mailing list.
There's no way of creating a hfile from linux.
