I don't see one in this one. It's a pretty old BIOS in a micron
P200.
Bummer. Thanks.

The serial ports are ok.
However, in checking that out I discovered that it will boot from the
serial console if there is also a keyboard plugged in (no monitor).
So then I put the monitor on and unplugged the keyboard.
The boot sequence shows:
"keyboard error"
during the initial BIOS boot.
Then, when the scsi devices are probed, I get
<F1> to resume, <F2> to setup
It looks like BIOS won't let me boot unattended without a keyboard.
With the keyboard, it comes up ok on the serial port.
Anyone know of a way around this?

Most BIOSes have a setting to ignore keyboard errors on bootup.
