Must hit F1 to load windows..

Hi! I'm not sure why, but I can't load windows unless I hit F1 right after POSTing. Once I do, it loads fine, and I don't have any problems. I'm running W98 SE on an AMD K6-2 500 with 320Megs RAM. If I don't hit F1, it just sits there after POSTing. Any ideas? THanks.
One cause may be that if you don't have a floppy drive installed but you have "boot up floppy seek" enabled in BIOS, it will say "floppy disk fail" when you start and require you to push F1.
