hello,

i've got a 2.2.7 system that will not boot without a keyboard.  i
have selected "absent keyboard" and "disable F1 on any error" in
bios.  i also tried a kernel built with options COMCONSOLE and
tried booting with boot.config empty and with the -P flag.  is
there something else i could try?

i built a cyrix 686 running 2.2.7 and it boots fine with the
keyboard disabled in bios.  this is an amd 486, maybe the older
bios is a problem?  the only solution i can think of is to plug
in a cheap keyboard and shove it inside the chassis.

thanks,
james
