If there is no OS on your hard drive and your floppy and/or CD drive doesn't attemp to boot first, you will get error messages and it will be impossible to install the OS of your choice. Some BIOS's allow booting from another device if the hard drive fails, but I can't guarantee that they all do. Your best bet is to have both your floppy and CD drives boot before the hard drive.
