Remove disks or other media

Just putting a P11 system together - everything is tested to work - except
the motherboard. System gets to point just after verifying pool data and
stops with this message 'Remove disks or other media' - when a bootable
floppy is in the disk (HD empty) - bios see the hard drive, cdrom... I have
tried various disks (new ones also) and the system will sometimes start up
on the disk and sometimes show this error - could this be a problem with the
floppy controller? - I have changed Floppy drives & cables to known good
ones - still same problem.

thanks
 
lite on the floppy is on all the time? cable needs to be flipped around on the floppy connector
 
ok

different drives
different cables
cable position
Shorted CMOS jumper? or just a reset to defaults? Floppy read /write enabled?
Configuration has been updated

I would say barring those questions above, the floppy controller is bad, can't think of anything else
