Possible to boot 390E from PCMCIA Compact Flash adapter?

Can the BIOS boot from PCMCIA Compact flash adapter (there is an option to boot from external card but I don't know what that means)?

I have tried a little with no luck but as older BIOS:es can be very picky about boot partition structure I thought I should ask here if it is possible at all.

Welcome to the forum!

AFAIK, what you're intent on doing is not possible on ThinkPads of that generation.

Good luck.
