Forgetful BIOS

[donnthom]

I have completed my first build. It seemed like everything was ok. Then when I tried to set my BIOS, and tried to run the system, instead of booting from my hard drive as I had set it to do, it would ask to boot from floppies.
Then I tried hitting F!! on the run-up routine, and selected to boot from the HD, it booted from the hard disk, and everything was fine. However, when I turned the computer off, it would again try to boot from the floppy??
Can really use some help. Is the Bios memory not remembering???
