Actually reading around, it seems Toshiba really are that dumb! There is
a workaround here http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/post/39955/#p39955

Seems to boot a toshiba r100 from an image you need either a toshiba
cdrom drive or a toshiba floppy drive. Which is an emensley bad design
decision, as if the HDD conks out, you need one of those to recover your
system!

Bonkers, truely truely bonkers!
