RE: keyboardless operation
correct. DIN style keyboards can be disabled in the BIOS, or else you can
just unplug them after the keyboard test (this might work with ps/2
keyboards also). You just need it plugged in until the OS starts loading
after the POST. After that, pull the plug (or cut the wire if you are
hopeless with finding the correct one ;) ).
