Hi, on my MB (Gigabyte) the AMIBios and the Adaptec Bios tricked each other -- The Bios knows how to boot CDROM (EIDE that is) and the Adaptec looks if there is a bootable CDROM (this is somewhre in the Adaptec Options menu) and if it is, it will swap that to drive "A:" -- floppy yes. So if I tell the MB-BIOS to boot Floppy and the Adaptec Bios to boot from CD if there is a bootable one My Box will boot from CD but the BIOS thinks it's floppy. After boot "A:" is floppy again. I'm not sure who is winnig with both a floppy and a CD. Maybe something like that is your problem. Look for CD-Options in the Adaptec BIOS Menu. (Ctrl-A) during SCSI-checks at boottime. Thats right after Memory, PnP and IDE checks.
