What is "Upup-4.7.6.iso."? After you downloaded this iso file, did you burn it to CD/DVD as an image file? If Grub refuses to install on sda, what does it do? error messages? what happens? Are you booting the Upup from a CD you copied it to, changed your BIOS so that CD is set to first boot priority? What else (other operating systems) do you have on your computer, if anything?
What about trying a live boot of one of the other linuxs for old hardware, and then installing from the live-cd?
Why do you think that the problem is the BIOS and its settings? Have you installed the latest BIOS you can find; IBM is better at support than many others.
I assume the T23 doesn't boot from the CD-ROM, therefor the use of the diskette, but that should have no effect on Grub. Can you see the HDD when you boot a live-cd?
