You could also go into FDISK once you have the system booted off the floppy
and make sure one of the partitions is set as bootable.
I ran into the same situation three times when I loaded and reloaded one of
my systems with RedHat 5.1 and 5.2. I've not had it happen yet with 6.0 but
I've only loaded it on two machines so far.
