Disconnect harddrive, boot from floppy and fdisk the harddrive...
w/o an OS/harddrive, BIOS has to at some point resort to booting from floppy..

If I disconnect the hard drive, it takes 5 minutes to boot up; says IDE controller not found, goes through POST, says operating system not found. If I have a floppy disk in there, it ignores it and never accesses the disk. The drive does have power, and the little light goes on, but the system never attempts to boot from the floppy.

If what you say is occuring, then either your floppy controller is screwed up or your boot disk is not valid ,,just for shits and giggles,create anothe boot disk if you have resources,,
P.S.
If that doesnt work,,I strongly recommend nate_k9's recommendation

BIOS is not removable, at least easily, not a snapped in chip, saudered on to the main board.
Disk is fine, works perfectly in computer right next to this one. Disk drive is fine, works perfectly in computer right next to this one. Floppy controller is fine, saw this motherboard work yesterday at a different location.
