No idea.

I don't recall the exact model, but I booted a ThinkPad of that 
generation (76x) with an 8 MB drive.  It worked fine with OS/2.

I wonder if it's possible to put Grub or Lilo on that drive and tell it 
to boot from the CD?

Also, is Slackware still available as floppy sets, so that you don't 
need a CD to install?
