Booting a (network) machine that has no kbd and no monitor attached.

[Shaul Karl <shaulka@bezeqint.net>]

I am setting up a machine that will be connected to the local network 
and will not have a monitor nor a keyboard attached to it.
What changes, if any, should be made to the Debian software in order 
for such machine to be able to boot without complaining about the 
missing keyboard or monitor? In particular, what modifications are 
required for the initialization scripts and to the kernel? Are there 
any boot parameters that should be passed to the kernel about the lack 
of kbd/monitor?
I am aware to the fact that the BIOS setting should probably be changed 
too. Yet I hope it would be the easier part. Is that so?
Note that this machine has enough RAM. It also has its own hard drive.
At least initially that machine will not run X at all. Later on it 
might be used to run the X clients.

Short replies with pointers to documentation will be appreciated too.
