Bad floppy-drive, or serial cable (ribbon-cable to the floppy-drive).

Subject: [PCBUILD] "Disk boot failure"
Greetings-
I finally got around to building my first box, although I can't really
say
it's built yet because I have a problem (I got by the first problem- bad
RAM DIMM- without too much trouble).
This is an AMD 350 K-6 built on an Aopen AX59 Pro board with the 1 meg
cache.
The machine boots up normally, and I can get in to setup with no
problem.
Video is good and all that.
When I exit setup and the bootup process continues, I get a "BOOT DISK
ERROR. INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER" message. This repaets with a
bootable floppy in the drive.
It appears to be a problem with the floppy, but I'm not sure. Everything
looks to be connected properly, and the floppy is detected in the CMOS
setup. And lastly, I know I have a bootable disk.
Any suggestions?
Thanks-
