I ususally leave in a cheapo VGA card for when things go wrong. Many
modern systems have a CMOS setup setting for keyboard not installed, and
I also tell them to halt on no errors. Lots of my boxes have no keyboard
except when they're sick.
BTW...is it "bad" to plug in a keybard with the system running? I worry
about frying the keyboard controller...but I hate to power down. Never
know when the hard drive might decide not to spin back up.
