One word of caution though: Don't rule out that the test floppy was bad also. It's happened to me before and also with two CDROM drives. Especially since those "nasty searching sounds" imply that the controller is fine and is talking to the drive.
Just to note: I did try multiple floppy disks, 2 different floppy drives, and at least 2 different cables. While the drive looks like it's properly being searched at bootup, it doesn't actually ever seem to get read. Very confusing. -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "Are [Linux users] lemmings collectively jumping off of the cliff of reliable, well-engineered commercial software?" (By Matt Welsh)
