I'm afraid this is going to be a bit of a problem with most AT-clone 386
boxes:
1) If you don't have a keyboard the bios gives an error, but some can
get past this.
2) If you don't have a display adapter the bios gives an error and asks
to "hit F1 to continue". Of course, if you don't have a keyboard you can't
hit F1...

Paul.
