Did you install a boot manager? sometimes I see this when I don't select one. Select "Standard" and see
what happens.

This, of course, presupposes that you could install at all.. If the boot floppy doesn't work, make sure
that you are using the right boot floppy, and other than that I have no idea. It happened when I was
building my box at work (Although the floppy worked in another machine AND this one prior to messing up),
but I had to use a CDROM to install eventually.. :/
