It's not in any of the sub-menus (which is how Dell's BIOS is organized). I'm also not-so-sure that the floppy is where it's stopping because the non-ACPI boot doesn't mention the floppy at all ... leading me to believe it's whatever is checked "after" the floppy that is at fault... but even the verbose boot doesn't let me know what that might be.
