Rom checksum error.
Could be an amateur attempted to flash the BIOS.
Copy a known good BIOS rom to a freshly formatted floppy.Rename the
file to amiboot.rom
Re-boot system with the floppy in and bugger off for half an
hour.System may look like it's doing nothing but if you are lucky BIOS
boot block will allow the emergency re flash as per,

Or the Flash chip could be knackered
If successful with EFD pull power cord out and clear the CMOS as a
fail safe.
