Thinkpad 755c

[Marc]

I have a thinkpad 755c which I would like to install linux to.  I know about the floppy=thinkpad parameter but when i enter this at the boot prompt with the rescue disk in the floppy drive the drive spins but answers with   Could not find kernel image: floppy=t.hink   How can I solve this.  I have tried writing a new rescue disk but it does the same thing.  Thank you very much your help is very much appreciated. HUH?
