Using an old pc as a server but it won't boot unless it finds a keyboard attached, is there any way I can turn this off?

Depends on the PC, but their should be a setting in the BIOS to ignore errors on boot-up. Usual it's ignore all, ignore keyboard, etc..

Go into your bios at start up - Its usually the delete key (so you will need your keyboard attached at this point)

somwhere in the bios is usually a "Halt on XXX errors" setting.

Set it to not halt if a keyboard is missing.

If this doesn't work you're just going to have to buy a £3.50 keyboard unless someone has a broken one they can give you.
