I can't point out a solution but I can tell you that it's probably not
related specifically to Debian or to Linux, as I have had similar
problems happen on a Windows-only machine.  Every time it booted, even
if there were no diskettes in the floppy drives, it would give the
message that one sees when attempting to boot to a diskette lacking an
OS; i.e., something like "Non-system disk, replace and strike any
key".  The guy eventually had to fdisk & reformat as I lacked a decent
set of disk repair tools.
