I just built a system "from scratch" with the recent 3.0-SNAP. I just ran into some unexpected behavior. I'm trying to set up a "headless machine" It obvoiusly has a kbd interface, but I do not supply the keyboard. Similarly, I may (or may not) have a CRT and video card. With kbd & video, it works just fine. However, in order to get it to even try to boot without a keyboard, I have to tell the bios that it is not required. With thaqt setting, I get into the boot blocks as expected. I get to "Default: F1" and it hangs uptil I plug in a keyboard. Only then does it proceed to the Boot: prompt. On my old P-5, I could boot without a keyboard. Am I doing something wrong? Does this deserve a "PR" ?
