Boot with no keyboard?

[Nestle]

Is it possible to boot a computer with no keyboard attached?

I am about to setup a second computer that will be conected to my first one with a crossover cable and i will use remote admin. to control it. Therefore i don't need a keyboard to be attached to this second computer. Are there any settings in the bios (I am using A7V333) that will let the computer boot without a keyboard? If not, is there any other way?

Yeah there should be an option that tells the motherboard what errors to halt on. Generally by default, it is set to stop on all errors BUT keyboard.

So you should be all set, but you might want to check for it in the BIOS anyways.

yeah check it because some computers will refuse to boot without a keyboard attached

My wife often disconnects my keyboard with her vacuum cleaner. With BIOS set to 'Halt on no errors' it boots just fine.
