I think the early posting mentioning that this configuration will be impossible to support on some BIOS revisions needs to be noted in the DOC somewhere. Wherever the feature is advertised, actually. In a previos message in this thread, it was noted that the AMI BIOS was the only one *known* to not throw up without a video card. Also, there was a discussion of bypassing the keyboard probe by adjusting a CMOS setting to "uninstalled". The documentation accompanying the changes ought to note this information, as well as noting how the heck one would put the CMOS back to an installed keyboard without an installed keyboard, should it become necessary.
