TP600 (crippled) install question

My ThinkPad 600 is somewhat crippled.  No floppy disk.  Attempt to boot 
from Win98 CDROM gets the prompt to select HD or CD, but then it 
hangs.  Boot from OpenBSD 3.3 CDROM just hangs with no msg.  MDK9.1 CDROM 
also does not work.  System *will* boot from RedHat 7.2 & 7.3 CD's - figure 
that one out.  The harddisk currently has Win95 on it.  BIOS upgrades are 
out the question (requires a floppy and charged battery).  Given this 
limited functionality, is it possible to install OpenBSD?
