What firmware does the machine use ? I've noticed that, at least on my
BeBox, recent firmwares didn't try to boot from diskette at all since
BeOS v4 unless I cold boot, and the latest doesn't even try to boot from
diskette.
Try downgrading your firmware to the BeOS 3.1 level - you'll end up with
a decent firmware, which accepts to boot from diskettes anytime.
