Please define "does not boot." Does it try to boot from floppy disk saying "not a DOS disk in DF0", does it hang with a black screen, or does it go to the "insert disk" animation?

For the latter it's probably the usual "kick 3.0 is too quick" problem. Press Ctrl-A-A and it should boot. Detaching the floppy drive delays the boot process so that the IDE devices are ready when the kickstart scans them.
