Agree that serial access to the BIOS is a good thing (did some testing
of this a couple of years ago).
I'm not familiar with the particular machine,
but isn't the setting 'Halt on All But Keyboard', or is that a Phoenix
BIOS thing?


Also, and damn stupid question as this is a new machine, is there an
update available already?


Or give in and follow the previous GLLUG thread on this. Grab keyboard
from dumpster, cut out entrails and tie into rack. Inelegant, yes.
