starting 712/80 without keyboard?
Hello again!
Does anyone know if there is a possibility to start a hp 712/80 without a keyboard plugged in? I cannot find an option in the bootrom. It always says:
"Failed to initialize a keyboard, SYSTEM HALTED"
If someone has a solution. That would be great...
Regards Jens

another thing which should be in the faq, but isn't.
serial console on the 712 is officially Not Supported.
however, you can do it, if you know what to type. full details are in the mailing list archives somewhere.

That's not what i'm searching for. I do not need the serial console nor the keyboard. I prefer using ssh. The problem is that i can't reboot the system from remote when there is no keyboard. I'm searching for something like a normal award bios has... 'halt on no errors' or something like that. But it it looks as if there is no option in the boot rom.

What willy was trying to say was the system will boot w/o keyboard if you change the PDC/BOOT_ADMIN console path to serial port. Mail search tool is at puffin.external.hp.com/cgi-bin/mailgrep. Try looking for "conspath" or "ISL" if "serial console" gets too many hits.
