If you can't use the entire screen, eg, you get a little black border around
your display, look for a little util called ps2.com by IBM. This is
apparently a fix for this. Problem is that it is DOS only, so stick it in
your autoexec.bat before you call loadlin and you should be ok.

Yep, it sure did.

I have now made an 8 meg partition, installed DOS, and am going to put
loadlin on next. But I need to figure out how to get rid of the boot
menu that that version of fdisk apparently installed.

I'd still welcome any other advice about Thinkpads and Linux.
