Sounds like you need to get into the bios (setup on a compaq) and change the
boot order. To do this, press F10 (or is it F1 - I don't remember - but it
is F2 on the Dell at work) when the cursor on the screen changes from an
underscore to a block, at the start of the boot process.
Then you should be able to tell it to boot from floppy first. If it is an
old one, you may have to remove the scsi drive as it may just ignore
everything else if it finds a scsi controller.
Cheers
