hello, i built a new system a couple days ago and also suffered this problem whne i try to boot the floppies. what i found i had done was i had plugged the terminated end of the 50pin cable into the scsi controler instead of the cdrom. whne i reversed it, the system booted fine everytime. sine you have used the system successfully before this may be a different problem, but i found for me that the cable was incorrectly plugged into the controller/cdrom.
