Some more info. I'm noticing that right as the GRUB message appears that the system is trying to read from the floppy drive even though there is no floppy in the drive and the hard drive light never lights. I compared this to another linux system using GRUB and the system boots without trying to access the floppy. It only accesses the hard drive. Now the question is why is it doing this?
