The servers I'm using have no floppy disk or CD-ROM (so you can see how I ended up running pxeLinux to get them installed), but I was installing some S/W via a floppy I temporarily hooked up and forgot to remove it when rebooting. To my surprise, the boot image loaded. I thought I had inadvertently fixed something. Then I removed the floppy and it was no go again. So I put the floppy back on and it worked again.

A lot of BIOSes seem to have this problem with no floppies in the
system.  Try using a hard disk image.  At some point I will try to make
a fix for this, although it's a bit complex since I don't have access to
a system which fails in this way.
