The easy way to do this is to go to the IBM site,
search on 2626-mou,
download the hibernate utility.
The utility will make a standalone bootable floppy.
This file will actually be for the 390* series and I can't say that it 
will work with all
Tpads, but it has worked with everything that I have tried it on.
You do need free space on your hard drive but this will do everything else.
If it doesn't work for you, you can remove it with dos fdisk.
