To get into the BIOS on the older EISA based NetServers you need to boot the ECU (EISA Config Utility).

You can get the latest version from http://www.hp.com/cposupport/swindexes/hpnetserve4476_swen.html
but it sounds like this may not help you if you cannot boot from the FDD.

What happens when you power the server up i.e. lights, beeps, messages etc?

Try clearing the CMOS if the server doesn't boot from anything. You will need to boot to the ECU afterwards, so make sure you have that available.
