An "X" on the disk icon even with a boot-floppy inserted mean that the disk
doesn't have a complete system folder, it's damaged, or the drive is damaged

It takes disassembling the Mac to see what shape the floppy drive is in.
Once you can boot to the floppy, you'd need a second (external) drive anyway
to place the formatting disk in to handle the external hard disk.
On the rare instance that the floppy-controller on the motherboard is bad,
there are a few of us who'd be happy to get you another one.
