In older days (a few generations of PC ago) there used to be a BIOS setting 
where you could tell it to ignore keyboard errors. You would enable that 
feature if you wanted to run the computer without a keyboard. I haven't 
looked to see if such a feature still exists in modern day BIOS but I don't 
see why they would have removed the option unless it will ignore keyboard 
errors automatically.
