I give up!!!
Here is what I tried (spoiler: both plans FAILED).
PLAN A:
1. Had a 2G FAT32 partition (type 0x0b) in primary partition 1.
2. Blew away what was there before, and put a file system on it
using the Linux utility mkdosfs
3. Put a 256M all-zero file called PM_HIBER.BIN on it with
head --bytes 256000000 < /dev/zero > /mnt/msdos/PM_HIBER.BIN
4. shutdown and powercycled the system (superstitious reasons)
After linux came up, I pressed Fn-F12. All I got was a double-beep
from the speaker.
PLAN B:
Following the instructions I found here:
http://www.procyon.com/~pda/lphdisk/
I did the following things:
1. made a hibernate partition (partition type 0xA0 -- which has
the tempting name IBM Thinkpad hibernate) as the fourth primary
partition
2. I made it 192M in size (should be adequate since I have 128M RAM +
4M video ram)
3. Formatted it using the utility lphdisk available at that page
4. shutdown and powercycled again.
Again, pressing Fn-F12 just delivered the double-beep sound, a sound
I have come to associate with failure.
Thanks to John Jones and Chris Schumann for their replies. However,
I have been beat! I give up!!!!
