Work around:
1. Boot off a win98 boot disk 2. fdisk and format if necessary 3. Find a copy of smartdrv.exe 4. Boot off the floppy w/cd rom support 5. Run smartdrv (its similar to ramdrive on win98 installs and will make the install run MUCH better) 6. Change/drill down to the cd-rom I386 folder 7. type WINNT.exe to start the install

Just a bit of advice - Win2K is going to run pretty slow on that laptop. Kicking the ram up to 256mb will make a considerable improvement.
