press F1tocontinuepressF2 to enter setup

I have a micron p166 and I booted it up the other day. I noticed that while going throught the boot process, I suddenly get the message “Press F1 to continue or press F2 to enter setup”. Several things I have done was use the ERD disk and I get thesame error message. I even turned off the computer and started it back all the hitting F8 in order to see if I can step through the boot process or even boot in safe mode. I believe the hard drive might have gone bad. If any has seen this before I would appreciated any help. Thank you.
