You dont know how to use an MS-DOS boot disk? Well, from taking a
quick peek at the manual, it ocurs to me that setting the floppy disk
drive as boot media is exacly the same as setting a cd drive as the
boot media, i would asume you did it wrong.
http://dlsvr02.asus.com/pub/ASUS/m [...] _a8n-e.pdf go
to page 82 for details of how to set boot devices.

You have something set up wrong or something such as bad memory that is  
preventing the operating system from booting. Most motherboards have a  
troubleshooting light system that helps eliminate the faulty component. Have  
you checked for this?   JJ
