There are a few solutions for you.
1) You could mount the Knoppix cd in windows and use rawrite to put the boot.img onto a floppy or..
2) Go to SmartBootManger and you can boot any cd from floppy not just Knoppix.
I just got this thinkpad and I need a bootdisk because it doesnt boot from CD. It has a builtin cd drive and diskette drive. So far I've tried an old SuSE 7.0 boot disk I have (didnt work at all), and also the knoppix PCMCIA boot disk (craps out on loading miniroot.gz).
Can anyone help me?

On the first method, same results as the PCMCIA boot disk, however the smart boot disk manager worked like a charm
THANK YOU!
Next stop, Hard drive install!
Right-on. Glad you got it working. SBM is my preference too.![]()
