Keyboard/monitor/mouse switches

[rhofland at fastdial.net (Randall Hofland)]

You can turn off the requirements for a keyboard and mouse in many PC
BIOS systems but the video may be an issue for some card/monitor
settings. Check your BIOS for a QuickStart option to bypass the memory
check and mouse/keyboard check. If you are just using basic SVGA on the
video that should be OK as well, otherwise you may have to reset once
you've booted up.
