I would like to be able to auto-boot a VS2000 with keyboard
and screen disconnected.

However, the bootrom complains that the keyboard is missing (actually,
it says something like ' 6 ?? 0012.3456 7890ABCD', which the manual
translates to 'keyboard missing':-).

So, my question: does anyone by any chance know a method to boot a vs2000
without manual intervention, even without the keyboard?
