I'd be inclined to set the HDD as master on the first IDE bus and the

Next try to boot from a one floppy linux distro such as tomsrtbt
Umm, have you formated the floppies under dos with system install?
Before you load the Linux images?
If you are having this much trouble, the boot floppy seems the way to go.
BTW - what Band/model is the motherboard?
