what exactly is the last thing it says before the cursor (make sure it is set to show boot info)... is it hanging on DMI pool, drive detection, etc. A few things to try in the mean time is:
1. disconnect the floppy drive and see if it gets any farther. Try this with the cdrom (testing purposes).
2. Jump/clear NVRAM.
3. Run a first aid utility and test drive it see if anything is wrong physically with the drive. You could also just get another drive pop it in and slave the other one. Also, check boot config. Make sure you are not set to boot off of network. Set PXE as off.
Sure there are a few other things, course try the norm stuff like cable resetting, bare bone system (NOTHING but what is absolutley needed).
