How much RAM does that laptop have? The symptoms that you describe
are similar to what happens with only 4 megabytes of RAM. Remember
that tomsrtbt needs RAM for ramdisks.
It used to be that tomsrtbt could limp along even with only 4 MB.
I've done it. Trick was to mount /usr on the floppy. See the mailing
list archive. In fact you could search for my name in that archive,
along with ``4 mb'' or something, because as I recall I posted
something back then.
But as I recall Tom ended support for that, with regrets, when it
became too burdensome. You might have to get an ancient version.
